Question

Free resources

Hi everyone,

Can I use a free license image or vector in an outdoor? Can I also use it in print resources? It doesn´t have any commercial purpose. 

Thanks.

You can use the free assets according to the licence for commercial purposes and non-commercial purposes, but in all cases, even for non-commercial purposes, you need to follow the licensing terms. There is no difference between free and for sale assets in this sense.

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).

Thanks for te explanation. I think Thais answers to the question related to standard licence of free assets:  "3. License Terms and Specific Restrictions Applicable to Works
3.1. Standard License and Specific Restrictions for Works. The license described in this section 3.1 is referred to as a
“Standard License”.
(A) Standard License for Works. Under a Standard License, we grant you a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide,
non-transferable (except pursuant to section 6 (Additional Rights)), non-sublicensable license to use, reproduce,
archive, modify, and display the Work, in all media, for (1) advertising, marketing, promotional and decoration
purposes; and (2) personal and non-commercial uses, up to 500,000 times as further described in section 3.1(B)
(“Standard License Specific Restrictions”)."

Yes, free photos and vector come with a standard licence, so that sections are to be followed.
