[Fedora-legal-list] Re: Unsplash License acceptable for Fedora Wallpaper Content?

[Tom Callaway]

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. ;)
