So, we have the following options:
1. Ignore them (pity)
2. Upload them as public domain and re-iterate the National Portrait Gallery issue, and
teach them that these open content wiki people are not to be trusted
3. Label them CC-BY so the Wellcome Trust can get a mandatory attribution, which we would
do anyway
Personally, I'd go for #3. CC-BY is just one small step up from PD, so I really
don't see the practical harm.
Agreed, #3 definitely seems like the best course of action to try first.
Magnus, I suspect you already saw that I emailed Wellcome’s image folks [1]. If you have
any other contacts at Wellcome that could help out please let me know and I will email
them directly.
