I imagine some of you may have seen that the Wellcome Library announced yesterday [1]
that they have made over 100,000 high resolution images of manuscripts, paintings,
etchings, early photography, and advertisements available using a CC-BY license. I was
wondering [2] if it is ok to upload CC-BY images to the Commons.
This is mostly in theory since the downloads are sitting behind reCAPTCHAs and several
levels of click throughs — but you never know :-)
