Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Multimedia and Commons/Allow import of Flickr images regardless of claimed licence

Allow import of Flickr images regardless of claimed licence

  • Problem: Trusted users cannot import PD images from Flickr, if they are set to a non-free licence
  • Proposed solution: Allow trusted users (however defined and flagged) to import Flickr images regardless of claimed licence
  • Who would benefit: Experienced Commons uploaders; end users
  • More comments: A user can use the Upload Wizard to upload images from Flickr, if they have a free licence, or are marked as PD. They can upload images which have a non-free licence on Flickr, by first downloading them from Flickr to their hard drive, if they can make a case that they are PD (e.g. scans of old ephemera, 2D images of PD paintings)). They should be able to do this without the intermediate step.
