Flickr being used for free advertising

So I have one photo in my thousands of flickr photos that has a hookah in it, and thus has the keyword hookah. Today I get a friend invite from this company, err flickr contact. All of their photos are hookah's that they are selling. I can't say I'm upset, in fact I'm surprised it took this long. I've actually been doing a similar thing volunteering for an art gallery and I've gone through to everyone who has tagged our local area as an interest and added them as a contact.

I expect more companies to realize how much exposure they can get by creating a flickr account and showcasing there wares. Who can blame them? Will flickr try to stop it?
