Image Licensing

Every photograph on Free-Legal-Images.org was taken by Nick Youngson - nyphotographic.com, and is owned by R M Media Ltd. They're released for free reuse under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license — including commercial use — provided the terms below are met.

What the license permits

You may copy, redistribute, adapt, remix and build upon any image on this site, in any medium or format, including for commercial purposes — with no payment required — as long as the conditions below are met. This is a real, legally binding license, not just a courtesy.

What you need to do in return

Attribution. Credit the photographer as Nick Youngson - nyphotographic.com wherever you use the image, in a way that's reasonable for the medium you're using it in. On a web page, a visible credit line with a link back to the image's page on this site satisfies this. A typical credit line looks like:

[Article Title] by N. Youngson, licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0, via Free-Legal-Images.org.

ShareAlike. If you modify, adapt, or build upon an image, you must distribute your version under this same license (CC BY-SA 3.0) — you can't take an image, change it, and then lock the result behind a more restrictive license.

What happens if attribution is missing

The license to use an image is conditioned on attribution being given and maintained. If attribution requirements aren't met, no license is granted for that use, and the use isn't authorized under Creative Commons or otherwise.
