As discussed with Romain Guy in the email thread, the Apache 2.0 license applies to the affected .jpg files now and retroactively from the time of import. The exiftool did not remove the old CreativeCommons metadata. The images were altered using the bless hex editor to manually overwrite the metadata. $ exiftool -URL -WebStatement -UsageTerms tests/CanvasCompare/res/drawable/sunset1.jpg URL : http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Web Statement : http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Usage Terms : Apache License Version 2.0 $ exiftool -URL -WebStatement -UsageTerms tests/HwAccelerationTest/res/drawable-hdpi/sunset1.jpg URL : http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Web Statement : http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Usage Terms : Apache License Version 2.0 $ exiftool -URL -WebStatement -UsageTerms tests/HwAccelerationTest/res/drawable/sunset1.jpg URL : http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Web Statement : http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Usage Terms : Apache License Version 2.0 Change-Id: Icbd8c8c65ca521751d63a213377e3ababff0b7da
