# Individual Image Credits (Einzelbildnachweis)

**Individual Image Credits** refers to the practice of explicitly documenting the sources and licenses of every graphic, icon, or image used on an institutional website. 

At the **Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ)**, this is used to ensure legal compliance with various licensing models, including:
- **Creative Commons (CC)**: Such as CC BY-ND 2.5 for the TYPO3 logo and CC BY-NC 4.0 for OS icons.
- **Direct Source Attribution**: Linking to the original provider (e.g., eduroam.org or university blogs).
- **Commercial-Free Licenses**: Using assets that are free for commercial use provided a link to the author is included.

This process ensures that the university avoids copyright infringement while using third-party visual aids to better communicate technical IT concepts to its users.
