Hi, I have taken a look and unfortunately the freepik license is not compatible with FunTrivia. The ultimate license user is not you as a quiz creator, but FunTrivia. You'd thus either need a license that allows you to sublicense your work or a license that lets FunTrivia use it directly, without your mediation. However, the terms of Freepik state, as one of several mandatory clauses for a sublicence: "The third party has professionally instructed the User to produce goods or provide services to it/him/her and the User uses a limited number of items within the Freepik Content to produce such goods or provide such services to the instructing third party;" That's just not true. You are not an employee or subcontractor of FunTrivia in creating a quiz. We don't ask you to create it, you offer it. Since this clause, along with several others, needs to be fulfilled, we are at an impasse and the license of Freepik does not work. Please have a look at Pixabay or similar sites - there is a lot of material there which allows you to use the pictures in quizzes. Freepik unfortumately does not fall in that group - sorry. Reply #1.

To be certain - this is a wording issue, but the way freepik.com does phrase their license does not contain a pathway that would allow the (in itself technically complicated) licensing involved in you creating a quiz. The licenses we need to cover the creation of a derivative work from a picture (the quiz) while publishing as FunTrivia, not as you, need a very specific wording. Freepik was trying to have a mostly free license, but, as far as my (not-a-lawyer) knowledge goes, it does not cover this specific situation. As such, to protect Terry and the site, I have to rule that specific source a no-go. Reply #2. Jan 03 24, 4:01 PM |
