The new policy is still too restrictive for commons:
"...we do insist that all images personally shot be used ONLY for personal reference. They cannot be published for commercial use."

Thought folks in NYC might like to know :-) (although, I suppose that many things in there are still copyrighted which means that - with no USA freedom of panorama - you still can't put them on Commons...)
Perhaps you already new this and it's old news, but good news
nevertheless!
Do you have, and if not, do you think it would be valuable to create, a document listing the status of various cultural institutions in the NYC
area
according to their photographic and other policies that have bearing on free-culture? Perhaps that might be a good pilot project for the free-culture alliance??
