Unsplash Descriptions:

Photo descriptions are CC0, but the photos themselves use the Unsplash License which has different terms (no attribution required but restrictions on redistribution).

Descriptions are user-contributed and may not always be accurate. Verify before using as factual content.

Copyscape:

Copyscape is a plagiarism detection tool, not a content source. It does not provide licensed content - it checks if content exists elsewhere on the web.

A Copyscape 'clear' result does not guarantee content is original or properly licensed. It only checks against indexed web pages.
