The Flickr Foundation is structured as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, with an ambitious, 100-year plan to catalog, safeguard, and make available a vast trove of images that belong to all of us.
They are taking the "access" part seriously - making sure that the competing priorities of "getting and storing everything" and "letting everyone use everything" don't come down on the side of a vast, musty archive that no one sees - and no one defends when it's on the chopping block.
