[OpenGLAM] Revenue from image sales

[Joris Pekel]

Andrew Gray just forwarded this really interesting article, thought I'd
share wider!

"Related: The Morgan’s tax returns include a detail most museums fail
to break out: How much money the museum makes from photographic rights
to art images in its collection. In the most recent year for which
returns are available, the Morgan made $125,000 from images of its
art, a figure in-line with previous years. That’s four-tenths of one
percent of its revenue. Eliminating fees on copyright-clear images
seems like a very, very small price to pay for mission fulfilment."
