The majority of images found on Google Image Search are similarly copyrighted.

In general, images are copyrighted and not free for your use unless it says otherwise, not the other way around.

Google image search does have a setting that will let you find images that are marked for re-use, however: https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/how-to/2289302/how-to-find-free-images-with-googles-advanced-image-search
