What does it mean if an image is free for commercial use?
“Commercial Use” means that the image can be used directly or indirectly in the marketing and promotion of a product that results in monetary gain.

How do you know if a photo is copyright free?
Act on facts. Don’t just think an “old” photo is free for the taking or an image without a copyright symbol or notice is always free to use. If you don’t see permission clearly indicated on an image or photograph, then you need to investigate its copyright status.
One of the tools that is available within the Bing Images platform is the ability to filter by License Type. Choices include options like “Free to Share and Use”, “Free to share and use Commercially”, etc. This would imply that the images returned were not under copyright protection.
Does Bing Images violate copyright laws?
Bing Images searches for images from across endless sources available online. And while they are careful to not intentionally violate copyright laws, their language is very clear that it is the End User who is responsible for validating usage rights for the images available on the site.
This would imply that the images returned were not under copyright protection. But a simple search of images using the “Free to Share and Use” filter applied returned two images that were clearly watermarked with the stock agency that was offering the images for sale – clearly NOT “Free to Share and Use” – and that was on the first page of results.
