It is interesting how they've worded that - you can use it but we want to know about it.

What you want is someplace where the photographer has DECLARED the images to be in the public domain. For that you are best off looking at amateur sites - no professional photographer would ever give-up their copyright, after all it is how they make a living. Outside that suggestion, I have no idea.
