A couple of things gleaned from the dreamstime license page: https://www.dreamstime.com/about-stock-image-licenses
1) The "content level" for the leonine image is level 5. For this level a 'Royalty-Free License' costs < 4$, with a 'web usage' license of < $10. The question, it seems to me, is 'what does this license/s allow me to do? - The Royalty-Free license seems to be for a single person only. There are clear restrictions intended to stop you incorporating it into other derivative works; you can use it personally, including websites etc, but you can't (for instance) sell posters or musg with the image, nor sell it on, or put it in a colouring book etc. - The Web-usage license seems to be more about using it in web templates that you might sell on. - There are other licences but none of them seem very applicable to Leo's exact use; 'distribution' as part of a free software package. I can enquire about this specific use if you like, without mentioning the specific image we are talking about. BTW if it turns out it's a matter of $10 i am happy to pay for it as a thanks for Leo ;-) also FWIW: The leonine image seems a whisker off-vertical to me: looking at the Lion's face it is turned a few degrees anti-(counter-)clockwise. Is this deliberate, I wonder? Regards, Jon N On Monday, January 16, 2023 at 8:32:53 PM UTC Edward K.
