Sources for free images

License-free images can be used free of charge.
However, if you want to use photos commercially, the exact license details of the website operator must always be observed.

In its ruling of January 30, 2014, the Cologne Regional Court interpreted the copyright notice and the backlink to the author as mandatory requirements for the use of stock photos on pixelio.de. This also includes the reference to the actual image file.
