My question is, will it be acceptable when a museum or archive provides us
with their material and when we learn about a request to take down material,
we do this when requested by the copyright holder. This is not considered
an issue with

Nice write-up Domas. I really feel we are part of a bigger movement,
and that is what i usually express towards others who approach me
about Wikipedia. It's not just the encyclopaedia, but a whole movement
of people who think free licenses and media are an essential part of
the 21st century.

Hoi,
A low resolution version is in essence a derivative of the original. It is
the prerogative of a copyright holder to license as he sees fit. The notion
that a copyrighted work includes right to other manifestations of the same
work is flawed. It is like saying that because you have bought a
I was surprised last year to receive an e-mail from the journal Nature
Genetics. They put one of my pictures that they found on Commons on the
cover of the journal.
Well, this is smth you should really be proud of. Seriously, this is a
high-profile journal, making a cover of it would increase
Hoi.
I am talking to a few museums and archives and several of them are
interested in considering Commons for their collection. At the same time
they are also considering Flickr.
I am not sure I understand the issue.

If we are talking about PD material, whether it is hosted on Flickr, on
the website of the museum or elsewhere, we can still use it and upload on
Commons (possibly by a bot).
If a museum or archive asserts copyright on a PD work or art, we
ignore such claims. The WMF has stated they are willing to go to court
to defend the public domain status of historic artwork (and
photographic reproductions thereof).

Hoi,
Public Domain is a side issue. The real issue is about how to cooperate with
archives and museums. The fact that something that is in the public domain
can be used in any which way is true but largely irrelevant when you
consider that only a fraction of the material that is in archives and

You just posted what is generally believed to be the position of the WMF.

cooperating with other people, trying to find out what are our common

rules, we wouldn't be able to have all kinds of materials which policy
of Commons prohibits:

Strictly speaking no it doesn't. For example it would allow images
