   I would say "yes" so as, at the very least, to cover your own arse.  If   
   they find out your making $$$ on it they will likely want some of the   
   profit.   
      
   That said, several years ago I too several photos and a couple of the   
   locations (one a lighthouse and another a lake cruise) reached out and   
   asked if they could use them to promote their locations.  I said yes even   
   though I am not getting paid.

   That is not good, and sounds unfortunately like something our federal   
   government might be interested in to silence dissent.  :(

   Yeah, sounds like a field day for the legal profession.
