Mentioned this PR in #28545 already as I feel like they're tightly coupled in terms of exactly how the topic is approached.

This is indeed related to a PR I was just reviewing. Mao linked to it. This PR here seems to put this information in an earlier lesson (so not the landing page, but in the lesson page). Before I review, it might be good to decide where we put this information @TheOdinProject/foundations . I am inclined to put it in this recipes project as opposed to the later landing page. Would you agree?

One concern I might have is that this is the first project and there's already quite an overload of extra information in here. I will think about this a bit more later because there might be a more appropriate spot

my concern was -

  • If we share this information early on at the very first time students like me use images which is the Odin Recipe Project, it would be better since we wont have copyrighted images inside our repos, till we get to a later project and then discover we cant use just any image we find on internet.

Yes I think that's a very good point and also the reason I'm inclined to put it in the curriculum sooner rather than later. Thanks for elaborating on that!

@ManonLef Honestly, I wholeheartedly believe that we need a lesson dedicated to just copyright & how it relates to what we do in TOP.

It doesn't have to be super detailed and long, but it does need to cover the basics of what we generally can and cannot do in certain situations with our projects.

If this sounds like a ton of new information for an already overwhelmed, new user (because it does seem like it), then I propose that we provide generic/blank/custom-made images for the first few projects so the user does not have to worry about any of this in the beginning.

We could even use blank boxes made in CSS, since the pictures aren't really important at all for the first few projects. However, it would be really nice to use pictures that are free-to-use.

@Eduardo06sp
We cannot provide images to users because its a recipes project and we wont know which recipe they will choose. and personally i think having/seeing images of your favourite dish is always fun in odin-recipes website. : )
Also i was aware of too much info that's why i tried to keep my note as concise and short as possible below 180 words i believe.

I completely agree with @Eduardo06sp. I've noticed many learners using copyrighted images in their projects. We definitely need a dedicated lesson on this. The placement of the lesson can be decided by the top core members based on what they think is best.
