Hi, > Those files come from here [1] > > [1] https://getmdl.io/templates/index.html
Thanks, do you know how they are licensed? I can see there’s an open issue reguarding licensing of these files. [1] The original check in doesn’t help much [2] other than the icons seem to be under an CCSA 4.0 international license. Have we altered the icons in any way? Doing a reverse google image search on the road image [5] (which looks like a professional stock photo to me) turns up a number if hits, but I would guess it may of come from here [4] as that is one of the hits that predates the original checkin. There it’s stated that the image is CC0 but it doesn’t give the author and it’s unknown who uploaded it. (The free photos account seems to be a catch all). So best case it seems it may be CC0 but it probably is of unknown IP provenance. Note that it appears in several paid commercial themes, I’ve not checked them all but the few I did see to come after that checkin so they may of copied it from there. Can anyone find out anything else about any of that (or others) images origins? I’ve not investigated the other images. To resolve we could: a) Found out where each image come form and what license it’s under. b) We may need to ask Alexander Surma ([email protected]) who checked in the images where they where obtained from and what license they were under. (And if it was [4] ask pixabay where they got it from.) c) Ask for that issue [1] to be resolved (and give provenance for each image). d) Replace the images and icons with something of known IP provenance. What do you think? To me d) seems the simplest and quickest option and would require no changes to the existing LICENSE. Thanks.
