Problems with Using Flickr for Flock Blogging?

Yesterday, I made a blog post fom the Flock blogging tool in which I pasted a screenshot image into the blogging tool, let Flock upload it to flickr for me, and then let it paste the link to the image (now on Flickr) into the blog post. (It actually pasted it in with a link back to Flock which I deleted.) Just because, I had a quick scout around to see what flickr's policy was towards non-photo images... and it may be an issue for me, if this article from Wired is anything to go by: flickr Cracks Down on Screenshots. Because the use I'd have for flickr as a Flock blogging integrated service would be solely as a host for screenshots. Deleting the link back to flickr was also a breach of their Community Guidelines:
... pages on other websites that display images hosted on flickr.com must provide a link back to Flickr from each photo to its photo page on Flickr.
