and two amazon web services urls
are all already whitelisted for the GWT. So, there are already several
examples of commercially operated services that host freely-licensed media
files being acceptable sources for the GWT.

Hi,
From my point of view: certainly. Commons already has loads of images
sourced from
e.g. Flickr (and many GLAMs don't run their own servers but
put media in commercial providers servers).
As long as the media objects have the correct file formats and
licenses/rights
status I don't see why it would matter that they're fetched
from a server run by a commercial company.
Cheers,
David

Subject: [Glamtools] Can commercial GLAM companiy domains be whitelisted
for
GWT?
Dear all,
In the Netherlands and elsewhere GLAMs pay companies like
picturae.com to
produce images of their collections, resulting in
thousands of .tifs
etcetera.
Up to now, as far as i know these company websites have not been
whitelisted for uploads to Commons. It could be practical if GLAMs which
want to donate images, can do so directly from such a company's domain.
(A
GLAM asked me whether to ask a scanning company
to allow this from their
company side.)
As i don't (yet) have a specific URL as a test, i can't at this point ask
whitelisting on Phabricator. So i would like to test the waters here. If
whitelisting of a company is a "no-no", it makes no sense aa company to
allow this anyway. GLAMs (and I) must use other more indirect upload
inroads.
* What's your view?
Thanks, hans muller
