[Pdr] Question about copyright

Sat Jan 19 18:14:09 UTC 2013

Hi Naîmi,

Just to add to Sam's answer, although most of our images are free to use in
all countries, there is some material which may not be. There are for
example some images which you are only free to re-use for
commercial purposes if you live in the U.S. You can find out more about the
license for each of the images by following the links back to
the original source - and you should there find more info on the
exact license which the images have been published under.

It is complicated but I am sure there is lots of good material in French to
help you learn about the different licenses, etc.

All the best,

Adam.
