<div dir="ltr"><div><div>The main problem with Commons (at least for the pictures I took while mapping) is that there is no guarantee your pictures will be kept. For the good ones, there is no problem. For the 1000th picture of a bus stop and its surroundings, they will be nominated and removed.<br><br></div>Personally I would go with Mapillary, they even have a tool to contribute the better ones to Wikipedia. It's practical, but then they get a small Mapillary icon. At least they will get a free license attached. If you post them on Fickr, they're already lost for the community.<br><br></div>Polyglot<br><div><br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-02-14 2:10 GMT+01:00 Eugene Alvin Villar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:seav80@gmail.com" target="_blank">seav80@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="">On Sun, Feb 14, 2016 at 5:24 AM, Russ Nelson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nelson@crynwr.com" target="_blank">nelson@crynwr.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">The trouble with any non-profit service is that if they cease to get donations, they will be shut down.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>This observation also applies to the OSM database as hosted by the OSMF. But we all still contribute to OSM anyway because we trust that OSMF or another entity will be able to continue hosting the database.

You can also provide a back-up on Flickr which also allows tagging photos under a CC license.<br></div></div></div></div>
