12+ - ** Pixabay:** the full licence is section 5 of the Terms of Service (the old
13+ ` /service/license/ ` URL now redirects to the summary). The grant is irrevocable,
14+ worldwide and royalty-free, to "download, use, copy, modify or adapt". Games are never
15+ named. What carries a game is the Standalone definition: content combined with other
16+ media into "a 'new' creative work" is not standalone. The entries and the guide now
17+ state that as the basis rather than asking the reader to confirm it.
18+ - ** New Pixabay facts:** content published before 9 January 2019 is CC0 (section 4); the
19+ prohibited uses include political contexts and portraying people as ill, which matters
20+ for stock faces in horror or hospital scenes. ` pixabay-audio ` verified moved to today
21+ with three dated quotes.
22+ - ** Mixkit User Terms:** 18 or over only; no mass downloading or scraping; nothing "on a
23+ stock or inventory basis"; copies sold only after alteration and combination. ** Nothing
24+ about games** , so ` mixkit-stock-video ` stays ` needs-review ` : the terms neither add the
25+ word nor exclude games.
26+ - Still unread: Mixkit's Acceptable Use Policy, which the User Terms bind items to.
27+ - Next highest-value action: ** none that needs doing now.** The one unread document is
28+ Mixkit's Acceptable Use Policy, a conduct policy unlikely to move either Mixkit entry.
29+ The next substantive run is a ** third MODE=full review on or after 2026-10-17** , when
30+ the 73 entries verified in July cross 90 days and the age distribution first changes.
31+ Until then, new sources are the best use of a pass: pick a task the catalog has not
32+ been tested against (a 2D platformer, or a mobile puzzle game) and walk it the way the
33+ first run walked its three.
