Re: Unsplash License acceptable for Fedora Wallpaper Content?

It's less about whether Red Hat/Fedora runs into that restriction, and more of whether someone downstream from us might. Historically, the rule for content was "must be freely redistributable" and this fails that test, because it places a specific restriction on one method of redistribution.

I defer to Red Hat and Fedora Legal though. ;)

Yeah, I know that pictures from unsplash.com are used in tons of
places, but this is the first case I encountered where pictures that
are licensed with their new custom license terms would end up an
actual package - so I figured I should ask here first ... especially
given the usage restrictions (though I don't think that it would apply
to our use case, but obviously IANAL).
