1 year ago The first two are already in progress (glam branch).
I think we should avoid adding Openverse. There is the concern that you raised of duplication. Also, I do not expect Openverse to store/expose all of the metadata that would benefit this project.

3. OpenVerse
Description. Explore more than 600 million creative works, An extensive library of free stock photos, images, and audio, available for free use. Where does the content on Openverse come from? (https://openverse.org/sources) There is openly licensed content hosted on millions of domains across the breadth of the internet. The openverse team systematically identifies providers hosting CC-licensed content. If it’s a good fit, they index that content and make it discoverable through Openverse
NB: Sources also include Flickr, Wikimedia Commons MetMuseum and Europeana, which raises the concern of having duplicate data
