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).
