Problem
We currently do not have any information on hot-linking the images in Openverse Terms of Service.
Description
For images, Openverse API provides two URLs: one is the thumbnail that we create using the photon service, and the other - the direct link to the image on provider's site.
For audio, we use thumbnails directly (or do we use photon for them, too?).
should add information on hot-linking. I propose
We should update the terms of service with two points:
- hotlinking thumbnails is expected and fine, because the API serves references to them
- hotlinking the full images can be done at the discretion of each source, who may denylist or throttle them based on their own policies.
@WordPress/openverse-maintainers, what do you think?
