**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.
