I bow down to your all-knowingness.
Of course he licensed them to Getty Images for free and Getty Images gives them for free. That's why they have their trademark on the bottom of every photo, it's just for kicks.

How do you know where the money is going? People license photos for alot of reasons. I used to be in that line of business. For many, they just want to make sure they get used in proper ways and to be able to keep track of who is using them, and make sure that they're not being used for anyting illicit.

FWIW, we had this discussion on the "CHIEF SHOCKANAW" threads, where the guy who originated the artwork was criticized for "copyrighting" it.
As he explained, it's so no one is able to take the image and exploit it for their own gain. In essence, "since I'm not making money from this, no one else should be allowed to either."

I did read somewhere that the proceeds from the photos are being donated to a childrens foundation. I'm trying to find the source. BRB.
