On Alamy, unlike Shutterstock you have to decide the photo is for commercial use

》》》》So, if Alamy asks me if they can license an editorial photo putting liability on my shoulder, I would definitely say no.《《《《
Alamy don't f**k contributors like that.
If they'll ask you if you can lift the restrictions, you can state that you will not take the liability.
Remember that you just supply the images and license them to your best knowledge. You cannot control the actions of someone else. Just search online. How many "editorial" stock images are used wrongly.
Buyers license them and it is up to them what they will do with them. We cannot control that, that is not our responsibility.
It's very good to be careful with image licensing, but not neurotic!

It's not neurotic, just being careful to avoid potentially costing me a lot of money. But if they assure me that I won't be liable, of course I would license. If we won't be liable, why would they even ask? Shutterstock license editorial stock as commercial upgrade for extra fee without asking us, I think.

I love these discussions. Stops people from creating images and videos to compete with mine...

They ask because they would like to license your image differently from what YOU have selected. It's not that they want to deceive you or trick you. (That's Shutterstock's job :P)
