I am not sure I understand the issue. If we are talking about PD material, whether it is hosted on Flickr, on the website of the museum or elsewhere, we can still use it and upload on Commons (possibly by a bot). Example: Finnish National Gallery http://www.ateneum.fi/ has on its site virtually all canvasses and many of the graphic works it possesses, which gives a good overview of Finnish painting in general. I do not see why those images which are PD can not be uploaded on Commons. Same would apply if they hosted on Flickr. If material is not PD, it can not be uploaded. What is wrong with this reasoning?
