Really nice! Since Unsplash is mentioned in the About page, I hope it doesn’t go the same way with a strange non-CC license at some point. (Also ideally sticking to just Attribution and Share-Alike as now. :)
I tried out the feed at /feed but it seems to be empty – is there a way to get updates of new additions?
- aabergkvist 6y agoI missed that, what did they go from the do whatever the f*ck you want license? But, no. The licensing will be up to the artist, always. What would be the preferred way? Twitter? RSS?
- jancborchardt 6y agoIt used to be CC0 on Unsplash but some time ago they moved from that to a custom license with some special restrictons, which makes it impossible to use in other Creative Commons work: https://unsplash.com/license https://unsplash.com/license This also happened to a lot of other similar photo sites unfortunately. Preferred for the feed would be RSS I’d say, but maybe Twitter is good on top for promo. Thank you!
- ironmagma 6y agoThe WTF license is an antipattern really. All it does is push away anyone who has serious use cases for your work, because of the risk that nothing in that license will (likely) hold up in court. MIT carries basically the exact same provisions as WTF, so just use that.
- wodenokoto 6y agoWhile I too think everything would be easier if everything was CC-something licensed, I actually think the Unsplash license is extremely fair. The license is basically: use pictures for anything you want except for a competing service. You decide if you want to attribute source. For stock photos on websites and in PPP and reports, I can hardly imagine anything better than Unsplash.
