I'd love to be able to bring some of them to commons semi-automatically.

This specific image seems to be embedded in https://hmr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s10152-020-0534-x ; however also see https://www.springernature.com/gp/librarians/licensing

Thank you for the replies. @4nn1l2 as @Aklapper mentioned, image is released in CC-BY at https://hmr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s10152-020-0534-x
For automatic uploads, I'd query the CrossRef API and make sure that the article is released in a compatible license for other images too.

I think we need some discussion here - not sure if such license (mentioned on https://www.springernature.com/gp/librarians/licensing) acceptable for commons. @TiagoLubiana Would you like to start a discussion on COM:VPC?
