--- Comment #11 from jeremyb <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Ayaita from comment #10) > See, in that whitelist > Flickr is listed, and to me, Flickr is a filesharing service usable by > anyone. AIUI, there is one shared whitelist for multiple uses. IIRC, Flickr was on that list long before there was a GWToolset. (I think for a while Flickr was the only member of the list) Flickr is much different from Dropbox for 2 reasons (in general, not specifically in relation to GWToolset): * there are no arbitrary file uploads; files must be one of a few limited types of media (right?) and the site provides methods for recording various metadata on a per-file basis (including license) * we have processes specifically for dealing with Flickr including a bot that follows up on Flickr uploads soon after upload and verifies that the metadata at Flickr matches the file description page. AFAIK, no such comparison would be possible with dropbox; there would be nothing to compare against. GWToolsat may also have some hardcoded special casing for Flickr, I'm not sure. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
