Considering that other governments, such as the US and Polish governments,
release their images for free, I was wondering if anybody else felt it was
appropriate to lobby the website to release their images under a CC licence
(suitable for Wiki) or into the public domain.
There's been some work at data.gov.uk to get UK Crown Copyright made
into something two-way compatible with CC-by - that is, they retain
copyright, and change the licence. Perhaps that UK work could be repurposed for IE. I'm vague on the fine details ... anyone?
I think this would be an excellent achievement for WMIE. Is anyone willing to do the legwork?
So... no?
