I would say "yes" so as, at the very least, to cover your own arse.  If
they find out your making $$$ on it they will likely want some of the
profit.

That said, several years ago I too several photos and a couple of the
locations (one a lighthouse and another a lake cruise) reached out and
asked if they could use them to promote their locations.  I said yes even
though I am not getting paid.

government might be interested in to silence dissent.  :(

Yeah, sounds like a field day for the legal profession.
