You’re gonna “consider” complying with the law?

Sorry for the wrong use of words there. As mentioned in the earlier comment, use of cc licensed image in our site can be considered under fair use. We will still insert the license going forward as it makes it more simpler and straightforward. Do check out the link below to see how it works along with a CC license. Also, we would definitely get more legal advice on this going forward. Thanks for understanding. https://creativecommonsusa.org/index.php/ufaqs/what-is-the-d....

This is 100% incorrect and not what fair use means, ask a lawyer.

It's also legally required, and for many licenses (most CC licenses) you not only need to somehow include the license but also attribution.

I know very well how CC works, and if you would please read the link you yourself posted, you will understand that the way you are using these images clearly does not fall under fair use, as a compilation/library of anything whether that's images or songs or movies or whatever is not "news reporting, teaching, [or] parody" -- what these examples all have in common is that you're creating a derivative work ON TOP of the original work, which is why it's "fair use".

Hello there. Thanks for your help. I have reviewed all the licenses and included them accordingly.
