Dear Netha
That is great news. However, I think that CC-BY would be more appropriate a
license for such kind of images? I would seek opinion from James in this
regard.

Dear all,
I am very happy to share the news of Dr. Yale Rosen's donation of images
to Wikimedia Commons. He had shared over 2000 images related to pathology,
many of which are rare images, during his long career as a pathologist. He
used to run two Flickr streams, one for Atlas of Medical Foreign Bodies
<https://www.flickr.com/photos/foreignbodies> and other for pulmonary
pathology <https://www.flickr.com/photos/pulmonary_pathology/> images. I
had first approached Dr. Rosen for donating a few images, but he kindly
offered to donate his entire collection of approximately 2000 images plus
the contents from his pathology website <http://granuloma.homestead.com/> for
use on Wikimedia projects. He had shared several images under CC-BY-SA or
lower in the past, and User: CFCF
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CFCF> had uploaded them to Commons
in 2014. This month, he moved his entire collection to CC-BY-SA, giving me
the possibility to upload around 1000 images to Commons. All images from
Dr. Rosen's Flickr streams are now available on Wikimedia Commons here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_by_Yale_Rosen_MD>.
Please feel free to engage in categorizing, adding structured data and
uptaking these images to Wikimedia projects.Kindly write to me if you have
any questions or comments.
