I just read that GitHub has purchased Unsplash. Anyone know if we will still be able to freely use their images via PG, without a copyright notice and/or royalty payment?

It’s not Github, it’s Getty Images and as they have said they will operate separately. But I do have a bad feeling for the future.

So for now, you don’t have to worry about it. If there will be something, Pinegrow team will surely update you.
