Our stance on copyright is that digital reproductions
of public domain 2D
source material is in the public domain, even if your laughable
jurisdiction says otherwise.

[1] Position of the WMF:
I was thinking it would be AmazonTurk-able, but
that’s neat there is a
service for it. Around $140.00 wouldn’t be a terrible price to pay. Still,
it would be nice to avoid it, and have Wellcome be a partner in the effort.
What is “our stance on copyright”?

Then again I think it might be more useful to
approach the Wellcome
Library, both for getting easier access to their collection
and informing
them about our stance on copyright.

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 :-)
