Image Licensing Query?

[blakester]

i am not sure if this is the correct place for this thread but thought it could sit better here than any other part of the forum.

I have today received a request for the use of my image below in a brochure for a new housing development in Cambridge.

Crepes Make You happy by iain blake, on Flickr

The request for licence came from a graphic designer who is creating the brochure.
I am prepared to licence the image but had a few reservations about doing so which I detailed in my reply to him.

1 the lady in the image is easily identifiable but I do not have a model release form from her as it was a street shot.

2 the premises are identifiable too, I thought there may be some conflict with regards to their premises image being used in such a manner.

I am not entirely sure where any liability lies with such use, were I to just licence the image disregarding any potential conflict.
I don't think I would make much money from the image use but nevertheless, can do without a potential headache should things go a bit awry.

Anyone have any experience of such issues?
I welcome your views/opinions.

The easy answer is that it is all the responsibility of the publisher. If they know enough that they need to get a licence from you, they should also know their liabilities of usage.

Thanks Steve.
It's an image on flickr that they've found. I wouldn't know where to start as far as licensing the image is concerned or how I would actually word or control such a licence.
