Thanks to the lovely Heatherhorns (https://trello.com/b/8dvKmvtc/commissions) we have a new icon! We'll be updating the instance icon soon!

So, with the new fediverse canvas project just around the corner, it's time for our new shonk to represent!

They can’t reach the artist for permission sadly

It was a copyright free image....

I believe "copyright free" in this case doesn't mean not protected by copyright, but rather that it was missing attribution, so they could not contact the original creator.

Anything you create is automatically protected by copyright, whether you put a "© copygirl" or something to that effect on it or not. To use someone else's work, you either need to get permission from the author directly, or the work has to be available under a license that says you're allowed to (typically comes with some requirements or restrictions). One can also release a work under public domain, but that isn't legally possible in some countries. There's also some exceptions like fair use but that's another thing.
