Hoi,
The Argentian chapter has a lot of news footage from the Argentian National
Broadcaster. Beatriz told us at the GLAM conference in Paris that the
chapter is talking to other broadcasters for their material as well.
At the conference Multichil discussed with her the need for a tool to manage
such riches and as a result it is now localised at
. At the
recent hackathon in Amsterdam, a button was added to allow for the direct
uploading to Commons.
This platform is there to be used. It is freely licensed and we would
*LOVE*it to be used for any and all management of video clips.
Thanks,
GerardM

I was completely unaware of this!
I think we need a list of such examples. A WMF blog post may be
appropriate.
Agência Brasil (Radiobras), the Brazilian government news agency,
releases its material as CC-BY. Using the highly unscientific method
of sampling the changes to the Commons template, it looks like they've
been doing this since mid-2006:
