Look at the Unlicense: https://unlicense.org/ https://unlicense.org/ It releases into the public domain, where possible, and has a paragraph that comes as close as possible to the public domain in jurisdictions where that release isn't possible.

Not to really defend Getty Images, which seems to be acting out of line.
