Image Credits
Effective date: October 15, 2026Last updated: October 15, 2026
Photos of players from Backed’s own library are shown only when the photo is free to reuse, and this page credits the photographer and the licence for each one. A player photo on a play that was cut from the member’s own screenshot is part of that member’s post, not Backed’s library, and is not listed here.
Where player photos come from
Player photos come from Wikimedia Commons, a library of freely licensed media, and are used under the licence each photographer chose. Backed only uses photos under these licences:
- CC0 1.0 (public domain dedication)
- Public domain (for example, works of the US federal government)
- CC BY 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution)
- CC BY-SA 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike)
Backed stores its own copy of each photo, usually a smaller one, and may crop it to fit, for example into a circle. Each credit below says when the stored copy was resized or converted. Each photo stays under its own licence, which is linked below, and not under Backed’s terms. Backed may later also show photos from licensed photo providers; they will be credited here too.
A licence covers the photographer’s copyright only. It gives no right to anyone’s name or likeness beyond that, and the people pictured, and their teams and leagues, are not affiliated with Backed and do not endorse Backed or any play posted on it.
Team logos and league marks
Team logos appear next to team names, only to identify the teams. Each logo belongs to its team and the team’s league. Backed keeps its own small copies of the logo files, obtained from TheSportsDB or, for a few teams, from the league’s own published logo file; they are resized, not redrawn or recoloured. Showing a team’s logo does not mean any affiliation with, or sponsorship or endorsement by, the team or its league.
League logos are not shown: Backed uses its own sport icons.
Player photos
No photos from Backed’s library are shown right now.
