I did finally find this from a lawyer:
You own the copyright to any image you have taken and you can use it for pretty much anything that doesn't come under the definition of "commercial purposes", which in general means advertising. For example you can sell the images to a newspaper or magazine for use in editorial content. Editorial content is pretty much Photographer's rights, Photography and the Law, anything that's not advertising. For commercial usage you need a signed release from anyone identifiable in the image, or in some cases for any identifiable private property. You can generally sell your images as art without a release. Of course exactly what constitutes "commercial use" has to be defined by a court, but generally if the use can't be somehow construed as advertising in some form, you're OK.
Signed releases are only required for commercial (trade and advertising) use of photographs. Editorial, news and art usage generally requires no release from the subject, though some publication may requires them "just to be on the safe side.
