How do we handle it when an artist gives us explicit permission to use their art, regardless of the licensing? Every time I've approached someone about using/altering a photo with a CC license they are thrilled, and I can credit them in context. Seeing as we can't stamp 'photo by: " on our wallpaper do we need to ask them to agree to a non attribution use? Is this in the wiki and I just not see it?

I'm not so sure about that licensing.  Here's what the acutal license
text includes:

"* SELLING AND REDISTRIBUTION OF THE IMAGE (INDIVIDUALLY OR ALONG WITH
OTHER IMAGES) IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! DO NOT SHARE THE IMAGE WITH
OTHERS!"

This clause makes the images non-usable for Fedora, unless the author
specifically makes them available to us under a truly free license.
There are other clauses in the license for these images that are
problems too, such as requiring the recipient to restrict how they are
used.  Unfortunately "royalty-free" is not automatically free enough.
