Hi Pavlo, This was not directly related to open licenses, but we had some discussion on uploading Ukrainian images to Ajapaik.ee f(tagging people on photos, geotagging, and rephotography website) from Commons and Europeana for documenting how war changes places and eventually rebuilding after the war. Ajapaik is not strictly free license as there are a huge number of photos that are either under CC-ND/CC-ND or under copyright, but the crowdsourced data is open, and also rephotographed images are CC-BY.
However, I think that getting images on use and getting crowdsourced metadata could be reasons for cultural institutions for opening their content. Here is folder from WMCEE meeting 2018 - https://ajapaik.ee/?album=397&order1=time&order2=rephotos&page=1 It has also mobile app for taking photos (and working on iOS version) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ee.ajapaik.android&hl=fi&gl=US If you need more info, feel free to contact me.
