I wonder, does GNU/FSF/rms have an opinion on the Unsplash license?

@anselmschueler Most probably it is a non-free image license, since it prohibits selling and competition.

"What is not permitted 👎

Images cannot be sold without significant modification.
Compiling images from Unsplash to replicate a similar or competing service."

unsplash.comLicense | UnsplashAll images published on Unsplash can be used for free. You can use them for commercial and noncommercial purposes. You do not need to ask permission from or provide credit to the photographer or Unsplash, although it is appreciated when possible.

@amszmidt Yes, it is clearly an unfree license. However they have expressed that they don't see an obligation for images and creative works to be freely licensed.

@anselmschueler Hm? The GNU project and the FSF clearly do see an obligation for that.

@anselmschueler Maybe you are confusing that everything has to be under a free _software_ license?

@anselmschueler "Non-free" in that context means "non-free software licenses"; I've poked the webmasters to update the text.
