Congratulations! You've been invited to sell your photos on Getty Images.

this is:
What rights does Getty Images have over photos I post for sale in the Flickr collection on Getty Images?
Getty Images has the exclusive right to sell your images and images substantially similar to those in a commercial context once you've accepted their invitation (and signed the Getty Images Contributor Agreement). Any and all of your other non-similar photographs not in the Flickr collection can be sold freely by you, though not on Flickr itself, because that goes against our Community Guidelines. You know, like, don’t use Flickr for commercial.
'substantialy similar'? is that a legal term haha

nevermind this post, I'm not really interested in giving getty the rights over some of my favourite photographs.

seems like this is just getty's attempt to keep competitors out of working with flickr and to stifle growth in an industry. i havent seen any concrete details on the deal except for a few people who have gotten invites from getty.
