So, we have the following options:
- Ignore them (pity)
Not going to happen; note work-in-progress, and discussion, at:

- 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
2b politely explain to WT that their licence statement is in error, and why, and that even if people in the UK abide by it, it is unenforceable internationally.
- Label them CC-BY so the Wellcome Trust can get a mandatory attribution,
which we would do anyway
No, for the reasons stated by Christoph, and in the Commons discussion cited above. And we would not advise re-users that the attribution is mandatory.
