Interesting as one area they class as `allowed` would be "One-off classroom use"

Which seems odd, as that would mean you can only use a single image once in a classroom to educate students and never ever use that image again for as long as you teach to any other class of students.

That can't be right, is there a one-off definition in education that I'm unaware of?

I'd interpret it as being free to use for individual teachers, but if the school integrates it into their standard curriculum, then they've gotta pay.

I'm sure you're right. Which is kinda the crux, limiting an understanding of history thru taxation, whilst something small, it would soon with other information taxation costs end up creating a educational divide even wider than we have today.

I also feel that if they allowed and encouraged educational establishments to use them for free. They would create more potential customers who in their lifetime, would go a see them at the museum. So for a Museum, it would tick the PR, tourism, and visitors count boxes nicely. With that, I'm going to email them, though will craft the idea out more, any input welcome.
