The part I am talking about is the part where they say that they want to talk to the Wikimedia Fundation to have a discussion about making low-resolution images of paintings in its collection available!
Incidentally, the NPG appears to have removed the zoomify feature from their website (or at least it wasn't present on the sample of images I looked at). As a result, it would appear that WMF presently has more detailed images on Commons than are available in any form on NPG's website. In the typical case, our images appear to be 3 or 4 times larger in linear dimension than the largest view they currently make available.

I don't suppose anyone has a mirror of our copies, just in case Foundation decides to comply with NPG's demands (a long shot, for sure)? Probably be best to make sure this information isn't lost, especially since NPG has now made the high-res images unavailable to anyone.
