You can use AlltheWeb backlink queries to get an idea. AlltheWeb
currently finds for me:

Not without crawling the referring pages. The same image URL is used for
all licenses, excepting the public domain dedication, which gets the "no
rights reserved" image. We may support per-license image URLs at some
point so that developers can always grab the correct image given a
license URL (currently public domain must be special-cased).
