Most of these institutions have a mission to inform the public.  Openness
helps fulfill that mission.  In the Bundesarchiv's case, donation of 100,000
images significantly increased their sales of images.  That may seem
counterintuitive but if an organization is smart about it everyone
benefits.  We're working to build synergies.  Various kinds of synergies can
develop.  That's one of them.
