Thank you Simon.

That restricts the available flickr photos quite a bit, but I agree with your analysis and will follow your advice.

Best regards,

Stuart

The problem is less what OSM "allows" in a link, as to what the expectations and means of the data consumer are.

As a thought experiment consider facebook displaying the contents licenced on 0, 1, 2 and 3 terms, that would be instant and potentially expensive licence violations. As a consequence unless there is some way to check the licence in advance (for example by stating the licence in a separate tag with its SPDX id) and a way to retrieve attribution for the works that then can be displayed, I would as a tendency stick to "safe" licences, that is 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Dear All,

I have found some images corresponding to OSM nodes using the flickr API. Base on the license description below from the flickr website which has many cc images, which flickr images can be added to the image tag in OSM ?

"0" name="All Rights Reserved" "1" name="Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License" url=" https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/" "2" name="Attribution-NonCommercial License" url=" https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/" "3" name="Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License" url=" https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/" "4" name="Attribution License" url=" https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" "5" name="Attribution-ShareAlike License" url=" https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/" "6" name="Attribution-NoDerivs License" url=" https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.0/" /> "7" name="No known copyright restrictions" url=" https://www.flickr.com/commons/usage/" "8" name="United States Government Work" url=" http://www.usa.gov/copyright.shtml" /> "9" name="Public Domain Dedication (CC0)" url=" https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/" "10" name="Public Domain Mark" url=" https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/"

Hi

Whenever I used the image tag, I usually reviewed all images by hand because of this problem. Your approach, using only known domains, where you know how to query license and attribution, is probably a good approach. But not trivial to implement. For example umap has no support for this. I would suggest to avoid 0-3 as they are regarded "non-free" because of the non commercial clause. The others are ok for me because they are no worse than the established usage of pictures hosted on wikimedia commons. Where you have the same problem that you need to retrieve the license and author.

Hi Again,

FYI, I looked at the flickr API documentation again, and it is actually quite easy to extract the license & attribution information for each photo ... in any case no more difficult than with wikimedia commons.

https://www.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.getInfo&api_k...<api-key>&photo_id=7159981498&format=rest

A typical flickr url is either formed as :

https://farm%7Bfarm-id%7D.staticflickr.com/%7Bserver-id%7D/%7Bid%7D_%7Bsecre... http://staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}_[mstzb].jpg

with an example :

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7073/7159958908_c5e8826867.jpg

Best regards,
