[Vote] Postman

[Ed .]

Hi David,
I've had a quick look at flickr (http://www.flickr.com/services/api/tos/) and apparently to use the flickr logo in an app, explicit written permission is required from them. A simple copyright adjustment will not suffice.
I haven't looked into the other services but I wouldn't be surprised if their requirements are similar.
