So, we have the following options:
- Ignore them (pity)
- Upload them as public domain and re-iterate the National Portrait Gallery issue, and teach them that these open content wiki people are not to be trusted

Agreed, #3 definitely seems like the best course of action to try first.
Magnus, I suspect you already saw that I emailed Wellcome’s image folks [1]. If you have any other contacts at Wellcome that could help out please let me know and I will email them directly.
