Flickr Commons

quote [ To increase public access to archival photography collections,
To provide tools and resources to help interested researchers enhance the photographs’ descriptions and other metadata, and
To return this new information to the contributing cultural member organizations, and
To protect and attend to the long life of this unique collection. ]

a nice tool – launched this year – to easier follow through permissively licensed archives on Flickr. Found via blog of Alex Chan (working at Flickr + having co-build this portal)

Can we now post images on SE just as long as they come from Flickr Commons?

I guess so, that's what blogs like New Old Stock are doing. As long as you pass the reference, you should be ok.
