I wonder if Flickr wants to create a corpus of CC content so that they can launch a competitor to unsplash. A separate non-profit entity to limit liability sounds like a smart move. Or maybe I'm reading a cynical motive when there isn't one :)

i don't think you need to read that far to find a cynical motive - they want to collect donations to pay for the continued hosting of the content of their for-profit website. isn't keeping content online just what flickr is supposed to do?
