The only difference may be the fee. And, believe me, you are not the only one who constantly has to remind people about rights. There seems to be a general amnesia on the part of image users when it comes to these matters. However, if Leica approached me and said that they wanted to include one of my images in a calendar of the greatest photographs of the 20th century, I wouldn't argue too much about the fee. Fat chance though!
