We can. All the new wallpapers have been obtained either from Pexels or Unsplash (most of the links are in T10220#171744 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T10220#171744>, but we can also provide them for the remaining ones). Both sites offer free wallpapers, with minor licensing differences.
Pexels offers either the CC0 licence or the Pexels licence. See: https://www.pexels.com/photo-license/ and https://www.pexels.com/creative-commons-images/. Note: I have to change some licence info from CC0 to Pexels.
Unsplash is similar, however it has one additional clause that renders its licence special - hence the unfamiliar Unsplash licence name. You can find out more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsplash#License or https://unsplash.com/license.
From what I can tell all three licences are more lax than the CC BY-SA 4.0 the KDE licencing policy proscribes for media files. The question is are they "compatible" licences. Common sense says they should be fine, but maybe it would be good for someone with knowledge on the matter to jump in.
