Use of CC0 images in an Android app
<p>I'm making an app, and it need some images that the users can use to personalize their phone. </p>

<p>I'm planning to use unsplash.com as images source. The licence says that they are CC0: <a href="https://unsplash.com/license" rel="nofollow">https://unsplash.com/license</a></p>

<p>Will I be allowed to use this images (through the API) in my app without risking to get my developer account banned from Google? </p>

<p>This are the Google Play Store ToS: <a href="https://play.google.com/about/play-terms.html" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/about/play-terms.html</a>  </p>

<p>You have a license to "copy, modify, distribute and use the photos for free, including commercial purposes," so your account should not get blocked for copyright infringement of those images.  </p>

<p>You should consider re-hosting (or at least on-device locally caching) images that will be requested frequently, instead of hotlinking to the original, so that Unsplash isn't having to pay all those bandwidth costs. </p>

<p>It's your responsibility to make sure the rest of the app is still in compliance with the rest of the rules. </p>
