We know that its source granted the relevant license. Do you have any reason to think the uploader at the source was not the photographer? Plenty of people don't pay attention to their EXIF data. - Jmabel ! talk 17:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, "plenty of people don't pay attention to their EXIF data", but in my experience, very very few images here on Commons have an explicit "All rights reserved" message in the EXIF data. A sampling of other photos by this user on Unsplash did not have this statement in the metadata... --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:27, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep. I don't see any reason to doubt that the photographer released this image under a free license on Unsplash; the potentially inadvertent inclusion of a copyright statement in the image metadata doesn't annul that. (We run into similar situations occasionally where a book is released by the author under a free license, but still contains statements like "all rights reserved" or "reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited" on its copyright page.)
