File:Tokyo Big Sight (Unsplash).jpg

The file is an image published on Unsplash on 2 June, 2017, 3 days before Unsplash changed their license. However, "FBMD" comment is found in the file's EXIF, which means that the file is originally published on Facebook (or other websites owned by Facebook). As a result, the copyright status of the file is unknown, possibly copyrighted and unfree. 廣九直通車 (talk) 03:22, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Keep Finding "FBMD" does indicate that the file was uploaded to Facebook and then probably was re-downloaded by the photographer and uploaded elsewhere. The photograph is still on Unsplash and the photographer "takaharu SAWA" is still active there with several other photographs, and they appear active on other websites as a photographer under the same name. This, of itself, is not a reason to delete photographs taken from Unsplash. The license on Facebook does not in anyway legally affect the license given on Unsplash, legally speaking they are separable and independent acts. The release on Unsplash is irrevokable and care has been taken with the uploads to Commons to ensure archive versions are available should the source vanish, or there be a later legal challenge. --Fæ (talk) 08:01, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
