How about <a href="http://pixabay.com/" target="_blank">http://pixabay.com/</a>?<br>

Subject: Re: [theme-reviewers] GPL-Compatibility<br>
<br>
Timing is great! Just uploaded a new theme earlier today which contains an<br>
image from unsplash, so I'll go ahead and change that asap.<br>
<br>
Is there a central place here where GPL image providers are listed? If I<br>
remember correctly, there was a push a few months back to find places where<br>
we could get GPL images.<br>
<br>
Thanks as always!<br>
<br>
