Enquiry regarding the license status of the images in your dataset #305

Hi, Thanks for the dataset. I am planning on working on a fitness app & this dataset will contribute a lot in that regards. Thanks again

However I was having a very important doubt regarding the license status of the images in your dataset. Are the images in your dataset available without any copyright issue/open sourced & can be used in a commercial app without any issues later on?

Thanks & Regards

There is a note here:

Currently all exercises have two images, these have been scraped off the internet, therefore l do not own the copyright for these images and would advise against using them in commercial projects.

Reverse image search suggests bodybuildlng.com as one source. Quoting their policy:

So to answer your question, the license status is clearly infringing.
