This means I do not have to ask Christoph Hormann for his permission 
before linking to images on his website.  (If that wasn't the case, 
Google would have to ask everyone permission to include their stuff in

However, it does not mean I can take Christoph's picture, strip the 
copyright notice and rehost it to make it appear as one of my own.
