CC BY-SA review (2026-11-03): hollywood-boulevard-night-context-ccbysa.jpg is redistributed unmodified with attribution for colour/lighting study only. No texture, mesh or other derivative is made from it and nothing derived from it ships, so the share-alike clause does not extend to the project's assets. If a material were ever derived from this frame, it would need a separate review before use.

Redactions and permissions

• The facade photo's foreground crowd (bottom 30%) was cropped out before committing; no faces were blurred because none remain at the committed crop.
• The remaining files only contain incidental pedestrians at street distance (a few pixels tall); no identifiable faces, plates or interiors.
• Public frontage only; no interiors, no staff, no property-permission requirement.
• The star close-up was cropped at the right edge to remove a parked car and its readable plate.
• The night context frame was cropped to the upper 60% so the foreground crowd and a readable plate are not committed; the remaining people are distant silhouettes.
• The Walk of Fame frames show pedestrians from behind at street distance; no identifiable faces.
