             Summary: What category is the pexels license?
                 Key: LEGAL-507
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-507
             Project: Legal Discuss
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Justin Mclean


As LEGAL-479 hasn't been resolved and is holding up a release I went looking for other images that could be used. One place I found is: https://www.pexels.com/

Their license is simple https://www.pexels.com/photo-license/
-All photos on Pexels are free to use.
- Attribution is not required. Giving credit to the photographer or Pexels is not necessary but always appreciated.
- You can modify the photos. Be creative and edit the photos as you like.

However is you scroll down you'll see (similar to  LEGAL-479) you can't:
- Identifiable people may not appear in a bad light or in a way that is offensive.
- Don't sell unaltered copies of a photo, e.g. don't sell it as a stock photo, poster, print or on a physical product without adding any value.
- Don't imply endorsement of your product by people or brands on the image.
- Don't redistribute or sell the photos on other stock photo or wallpaper platforms.

Projects are very unlikely to do any of the above and are not right about copyright but other rights and some in general apply to all photos no matter what license they are under. (Just like LEGAL-479)

Can images with the pexels license be uses in an ASF release? In particular we want to use these for the upcoming ApacheCon slide template generator (which will be a maven archetype).
