It is a good improvement which I'll implement in the next run. In the
permissions field, I may link to the terms as below...

I have updated the project page with:
Licenses chosen can be based on this statement ''"All data and all
images made available through the API are either in the public domain
or are subject to a CC0 license."'' found
[https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/api/terms-and-conditions-of-use here].
This should mean that the photographs are themselves released as CC0,
with copyright of the art object being a separate issue (sticking to a
cut-off of before the 20th century should mean PD can apply).

Through David H. and Sebastiaan I am. I think it all looks okay, but
I'm thinking that when the first 200 go "live" it may be worth pausing
for a day or two for any feedback, and have a group call then, if
there is anything that could be done better. I'm in no hurry, so
waiting for feedback is not an issue.

It is good practice, I think we should make it best practice for any
GWT projects that are of any significant size (more than 1,000
images?). :-)

*Everyone* please remember to update
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GWToolset_users> with a
note about your planned GWT projects, along with links to the project
pages so that our volunteer community knows where to go with questions
and suggestions.
