Hi, everyone,
Wikimedia Commons, the media repository site used by Wikipedia, today just
reached the 5 million media files milestone. Every one of these media files
is available under a free license, such that anyone can use them for any
purpose. Wikimedia Commons is the largest free media repository on the
internet.
Not counting the ~5000 non-free files that are currently identified as
"Copyright by Wikimedia".
And not worrying about the 18M CC-BY / CC-BY-SA images on Flickr
(which is arguably still the largest free content image repository,
though that's not the only way Flickr is used).
