Traditionally, the copyright holder will write an agreement spelling out the terms, to be signed by both parties.
Increasingly, skilled amateur artists and photographers are making works available with a Creative Commons license--essentially an agreement spelling out the terms, just as a traditional license, but not requiring signatures.
