Wondering About Flickr and Copyright

I've also posted on the ESC1 page under Thing 5-Post Comments. I'm still a little unsure of where we are supposed to be sharing ideas and such...
Seems like Flickr can be used for curriculum purposes wherever images would help the delivery or enhancement of instruction. Some educational sites have listed use of Flickr for writing prompts, PPT presentations, teaching of geography, virtual field trips, etc. good thing that the Comoons section is made available as this provides protection against commiting a copyright infringment as long as credit is properly given. I need to review the copyright regulations, but how about when there was a strong desire to use a photograph that was not part of the Commons? Would asking permission from photographer to use in school application plus giving due credit be enough as long as it was not used for profitable purposes? I think this would be a good teaching opportunity.
