Unsplash has very good wallpapers; in my opinion this automatically becomes the most attractive POTD plugin.
Keep in mind though that when I tried to add Unsplash wallpapers to KDE in D18078 I was told I need to contact the authors and have them re-licence their work for us...
Hopefully this issue can be avoided here as it's not exactly the same situation. You have a big +1 from me for the idea.
Photos on Unsplash are under CC0 (public domain) now. So here shouldn't be copyright issues.
I do think it is good to show photographers' credits. But that will require changes to POTD class and wallpaper widget.
Very nice. Works great and I don't see any problems with the code here. Let's try to avoid a ton of bikeshedding over the licenses since these are CC0 IMO.
Where did you read that Unsplash images were CC0? The license is not CC0 and is in fact non-free. Or are the pictures fetched at https://unsplash.com/wallpaper/1065396/desktop-wallpapers licensed explicitly under CC0?
It's free. It's CC0 with the addition of "This license does not include the right to compile photos from Unsplash to replicate a similar or competing service.".
