Many years ago I downloaded stick man images from e-learning heroes. Love them use them in school. are they copyright free? May I use in public eg blog or book and credited. Would hate to do wrong thing. Many thanks.
Hi Jacq - Yes, it's free to use anyway you like other than to resell or distribute on your own site. Here's a link to Articulate's terms page: https://articulate.com/terms#user-content
I have that one bookmarked because many of my templates are hosted in ELH and users frequently ask me about Articulate's policy.
These are Randy Borum's stick figures that he shared seven years ago here. He shared them, so I'd assume they are ok to use but contacting him and/or citing your source is never a bad idea. Here a post with more info on Randy and his figures.
Hi Montse, many thanks for the information. Do you know if it's ok from the copyright perspective to modify the downloaded file? Is it allowed to publish it as a part of the content via LMS?
Hi Elena! As Montse mentioned, you're welcome to use/modify them in your courses as needed. The only restriction would be on downloading them and trying to sell somewhere else as a standalone item. Also, there are no attribution requirements, but it's always nice to show a little link love to the original author. 🙂

Hi Jacq,
Was this shared by another user in the community? Or did you find it somewhere else?
In the meantime, here's an article on image usage rights that might be helpful:
