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.
