Hey all, I have been quite active in recent months in getting photos on Flickr relicenced, and have been quite successful in this. Aside from individual photographers, some of the organisations which have relicenced their photos after my request include Maersk Line, Austrian Airlines, Bahrain International Airport, Brussels Airport, Ecuadorian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Uri Tours (North Korean tour agency), amongst others. These photos are now on Wikimedia Commons.
This morning, after months of "persistence" (using their words), Jetstar Airways, the Qantas low-cost subsidiary, kindly relicenced their photos on their Flickr stream at https://www.flickr.com/photos/jetstarairways/ from CC-BY-NC-SA to CC-BY-SA, thereby allowing the usage of their photos on Wikimedia projects. The airline has also changed its default licence so that future Flickr uploads will be CC-BY-SA. I have taken the liberty of uploading their stream to Wikimedia Commons and their photos are now available at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Jetstar_Airways. There will, of course, be a lot of categorisation work and cleanup to be done on these images, which I will be getting done. I wanted to take this opportunity to publicly thank Jetstar for relicencing their photos and in turn supporting the free culture movement. Cheers Scotty
