    @0xabad1dea Re: 2) there are other image libraries beyond Wikimedia Commons that host images available under various free licenses. A simple starting point is search.creativecommons.org/

    Some free licenses require naming the source/creator (e.g. all CC-licenses with "BY"). Get acquainted with the license for an image you want to use, and respect the conditions.

    Expect that searching for a fitting image (and re-searching its license terms if you're not familiar with it) takes time. It's worth it.

    @JonasJRichter @0xabad1dea Yeah, just be aware that some of the sites it searches aren't Creative Commons or free licenses at all...Jamendo for example is "royalty free" but still a paid license with strict limits on how and where you can use the licensed content...I don't think a paid license for one track which you can only edit in certain specific ways and can only use in one single project which you can only post on specific platforms is really what most people think of when they think of "Creative Commons"...
