How about making an affiliate ID for the group, then using Amazon asa source of images (as per the agreement) and a small income to increase the library?
That is a really good idea, if it were anyone other than Amazon.
Personally I feel (although feel free to persuade me otherwise here) that Amazon's previous abuse patents goes against the very ideals we as a group should promote, with that in mind I see the idea of ALUG becoming an affiliate as a bit of a contradiction.
That said the FSF ended their boycott in 2002, so maybe we should look into this. I'd really appreciate the views of other ALUG members before proceeding with or dismissing this.
