They had better not be using them on flickr accounts as flickr may
delete the entire account, for infringing the flickr and Y! T&C. The
issue being that flickr accounts should only contain material that the
photographer has taken themselves, there is some leeway for old family
photographs. Accounts that contain material that has been hoover up from
around the web tend to get deleted.

That includes material that is CC'd and also material where the photog
has given explicit permission. The issue is that on flickr there are
many places where a copyright notice is added that references the
account. So if Fred Bloggs uploads John Doe's photograph, it will
falsely be attributed as "Copyright Fred Bloggs" this attribution
violates all CC licenses.
