A little note : Kennisnet had agreed to have one person dedicated in 
copying all free images from Flickr to Commons, so we could have at 
least our own report. I think it was very kind of them.

After less than 10 images being uploaded, 2 were already listed for 
deletion. These two images were from Ross Mayfield, who put them under 
cc, but for non commercial use only. I asked in case to Ross if they 
could be under commercial use as well or if he would agree to put some 
of the pictures in an agreeable license. Isaac Mao also put all his 
pictures under regular copyright, so they are not usable. Angela 
indicated that some people could complain about their pictures being put 
on the net...


So... considering how much support I got, I told the Kennisnet person to 
stop any upload to commons.
