  Unsplash also changed from their CC0 license on photos last year: https://medium.com/@UserRoadmap/unsplash-is-no-longer-under-a-cc0-license-do-you-care-13d5656053b7 https://medium.com/@UserRoadmap/unsplash-is-no-longer-under-... It's still a liberal/free license but they're now using a custom license under their control and have also accepted 7.25M funding round so they could also become hostile in future. For this reason I'm hesitant to rely on their APIs and only maintain and use offline copies of photos I like.

      They talk about it from their Series A announcement: > The funds being invested today will be going toward defining a new economic model around photography. It won’t be a model where photos are going to be paid for with cryptocurrency. It will be a model that leverages the unprecedented distribution Unsplash photos gain to bring as many opportunities to contributors as possible while maintaining the open, free-to-use principles of the community. - https://medium.com/unsplash/we-just-raised-7-25-million-for-unsplash-to-build-a-new-economy-around-photography-cedc8a999239 https://medium.com/unsplash/we-just-raised-7-25-million-for-...
