You might’ve seen it there, too.
Being the nosy SOB that I am, I clicked on the image. First I was wondering: is that really the Flickr dev pod? And sure enough, it is. Or was? I noticed on the user’s profile that he used to work for Flickr.
Now, the photo is licensed as Attribution-Sharealike; which is great. And I don’t believe that this is in any way a violation of the license. It’s just… Call me crazy but it seemed like a little bit of an odd choice, using a former employee’s photo. But maybe only slightly?
