Speaking as a total non-lawyer and random Internet dude, let me contribute
that Google seems to be allowed to index and show thumbnails of all
images, no matter how they're licensed, and they're also a commercial
entity. See the Slashdot discussion at
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/17/2240200 and the
uscourts.gov link a commenter refers to. I haven't actually followed the
link to your website to see what you're doing, though.
