FAQ #306: Does "Crediting" let me use whatever I want?

No

You must obtain written permission from the proper and legal owner of any work which you wish to use, credit alone does not replace this requirement.

Official written permission or license is required whenever you wish to use artwork or photographs created by someone else; it is also required if you wish to use screenshots, official artwork from a video game, scans from an art book, or any other source material which is considered the legal property of another person. Permission is still required even if you have planned to manipulate, color over, blend the original with other images, or otherwise digitally work over the original work.

Explicit permission is not required when you choose to use valid stock resources. Please check your sources carefully to ensure that they are valid stock.
