Is it allowed or advertising?
I got this picture off Pixabay.
I want to use it as my discord pfp, but I want to give credit to the artist and say I got it from Pixabay?
Credit isnt required, though I feel it helps the artist.
This is what is says on Pixabay license.

================ I don't understand design mark, does that mean I can't use it as a discord pfp?
