Getty Images + Flickr

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....

Getty Images and Flickr are working together to establish the first commercial licensing opportunity for photo-enthusiasts in the Flickr community. The Flickr collection will feature photography selected by Getty Images editors based on their expertise in licensing digital content and insights into customers' needs. In the next several months, Getty Images will begin inviting selected Flickr members who will have the choice to participate in the collection.

So not everyone gets to play. It'll be interesting to see who exactly gets invited and how this all works through Flickr given their recently noted API problems.
