Hoi,
In the way you put it, there is no discussion possible. I do accept your
position, I do not agree with it.
What you write is more an article of faith then an argument why this is what
we do. Mathias, you can do better.
Thanks,
GerardM

My question is, will it be acceptable when a
museum or archive provides
us
with their material and when we learn about a
request to take down
material,
we do this when requested by the copyright
holder. This is not
considered
an issue with Flickr !!
A museum should be having no problem providing us with material in
these two scenarios:
1. The image is PD
2. The image is subject to copyright and the museum owns all required
rights of usage/copyrights to release the image under a free license
If the image is subject to copyright and the museum is unable to
provide these rights of usage, it is not suitable for Wikimedia
Commons.
Mathias
