if it came to downloading them yes. But I was asking the more basic question of
whether CC-BY images are OK to upload to the Wikimedia Commons, which isn’t
really a question for Wellcome, right? I’ve since been pointed at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Free_licenses
which seems to indicate they are OK. If you like I could try to get in touch
with someone at Wellcome to see if they could make them easier to upload.
