Images are created and uploaded by volunteer participants. The service is still partially under development stage and the program used in it is licensed under the GNU GPLv2.0 license.

Use in WordPress themes, for example, is restricted. WordPress  Photo Directory has 2,388 images as of April 2022. History.
