Not all of the images contain the same restrictive legend. Compare the LaHood-Obama example with the George H.W. Bush - Obama example. The first image contains this legend: "This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph." The second image leaves out the word "only," which changes the meaning from being prohibitory to merely explanatory: "This official White House photograph is being made available for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph."
I wonder if it's a partisan thing.
