Hi Wirawan, Here is a LibGuide I put together for images that are free to use. Licensing terms vary from source to source. But many should be licensed such that they are compatible with Carpentries licensing.

Our cybersecurity-focused computational training program called "DeapSECURE" (https://deapsecure.gitlab.io) produces lessons that are meant to be Carpentries-compatible. For example, we will publish all lessons using CC-BY-4.0 license and MIT for codes. But I find it rather hard to find good/suitable images, illustrations, graphs, etc. that are published with the same license (CC-BY-4.0) or less restrictive (CC0 / public domain). Not to mention that there are shoddy persons out there who may claim that their "images" are CC-licensed, while in fact these images were actually stolen from other authors (an example is mentioned in https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2013/06/11/the-problem-with-false-creative-commons-licenses/<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.plagiarismtoday.com%2F2013%2F06%2F11%2Fthe-problem-with-false-creative-commons-licenses%2F&data=04%7C01%7Crbrowder%40sfsu.edu%7C77e09a547cbe4502eff508da04a94888%7Cd8fbe335822c41a987747f16709aac9f%7C0%7C0%7C637827423098470887%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=3KCXkmSCqpi62qCs1Cq5vF9XoIXApZA2Gbjq%2Buoofvg%3D&reserved=0>). I want to ask the community two questions: 1. What online repositories hold images that are (or can be) compatible with Carpentries license? Any recommendations? 2. In the case of integrating images with different license terms (e.g. CC-NC, CC-ND-NC, or even plain "all rights reserved" [let's call this "ARR"]), how do you all navigate the "license mismatch"? Specifically: How can we include these works in the source Git repo and still not be deemed as copyright violation? One way I am proposing to handle the problem with "license mismatch" is to collect the references and credits of all the images used in a lesson in a separate page (e.g. _extras/credits.md), explicitly mention the license terms. For the ARR works, we definitely want to get permission from the author(s) to use the image(s) in our lessons, including the limited right to integrate the copyrighted works within our lessons for (basically) unrestricted distribution within the lessons, not for other purposes. I believe, many authors (especially if they are also from academia) would not mind this kind of reuse, because our lessons are academic in nature. Unfortunately, not all graphical works can be re-made just to avoid copyright issues. Some examples: cartoon, infographics, diagrams that depict certain concept or point that are just impossible to re-make and still convey exactly the same thing. As long as the lesson (incorporating that restricted ARR work) is not used something else other than Carpentries-like lessons, there ought to be no issue. But significant deviation, e.g. repackaging the lesson into commercially printed books or paid-for training programs would require a separate license from the author(s) of ARR works (or drop/substitute the ARR works from the commercialized product). People integrate other people's copyrighted works all the time within greater works and distribute the greater works. By this token, I believe that there's got to be a way to judiciously and correctly use more-restrictive works within an open-source works like the those produced by our community. Any thoughts or opinions on what I wrote above?
