I would like to archive your photo collection for safe keeping at archive.org in the winter. Would you be up to work together on that or should I just write me some scripts and go at it (with reasonable rate limiting)?

Are original files available or is thumb-2048.jpg the maximum public quality?

Are there really no location tags in the files? If so, your CC license is pretty much worthless as the images itself are not useful to anyone. :(

Note that Mapillary has some downsides. In addition to the CC-BY-SA license, the Mapillary T&C ( http://www.mapillary.com/terms.html 1.3) give them the specific right to reuse user content as they wish, without attribution. (This is different from OSM, which uses the ODbL.) Also, even though the license is CC-BY-SA, section 1.2 of the T&C prohibits commercial use. Further, I see no data dumps provided (or statement o…

Or it's dual-licenced... As I read the comment you are responding to, one could pick the license they like. If they pick CC-BY-SA, then they will have to share-alike and provide attribution, but it's allowed in commercial projects. If they want to use it in a non-commercial project, then they can use the T&C license and don't need to provide attribution.

I am not a lawyer, but I've seen dual-licensed projects before. Please do correct me if I'm wrong about this though.
