btw I just checked my settings, and I have different options. One of them says
"
Enable the "Request to License" badge on my photos AND allow Getty Images editors to invite my photos"which to my understanding does not grant rights automatically. Iy means Getty can invite my pictures, and anyone else can
request to license them through Getty.
Another option includes only the first half of the option above, without displaying the request link, third option is none.

I wonder if it is different for pro accounts, or non-US countries?
