I’m curious to see how this is concretely going to be
implemented on Commons
One thing I like to show GLAMs that have these concerns is ideas for
credit templates used by other institutions as well as a design for
their own. As these can be quite smart with links to the relevant
catalogue on their website and a request to keep the source attributed
on re-use, this may allay any concerns that provenance would be lost
on PD works.
Positive steps to track re-use and work out if attribution is being
preserved would help show how much this is a risk or not. My
expectation is that using a nice credit template would be at least as
effective as using a CC-BY licence and in the long term is less likely
to be removed or replaced on a work that is public domain, for example
due to its age.
We do not know for sure how this project will work out yet as we are
only at the expectations stage. It should make for a nice case study
when complete.
