Wonder if they have a licence for Helvetica used in the banner.

You don't need a licence to use a typeface in a design, only to install a font file on a computer. And OS X ships with a version of Helvetica so they might have just used that.

But you need a license to put JPEG files on your website. But I guess you already knew that.
