To be exact the checkbox says:
"I allow users to use my media for free, even for commercial purposes, without further attribution or compensation to me"

For media submitted for Free License distribution:

    I allow users to use my media for free, including for commercial purposes, without further attribution or fee to me.

Well, you clearly can't see very well...

Have you tried to upload AI?
Selecting AI category there is a checkbox down under the page, and you HAVE to check it. It says that you agree to give it for the free section. And it's necessary to check it to proceed.
And it's different from photos upload.
So maybe it's you that clearly can't see very well :-D

For what I see, if you send AI generated images in appropriate category, you are also forced to consent to give it away for free also for commercial use.
So, stay away from this agency

Thanks for sharing that link. I was encouraged by the significant growth in income from Adobe this year, (over 100% from Jan-March 2022) but assumed the 75% increase in March over February was just a fluke, but I'm hopeful now that it will remain steady. We'll have to see how the rest of the year goes.
