I believe most of the images are still available directly from IA.
For many with lighter copyright you can certainly host them elsewhere as well.

1. All the lost metadata. By making the images available on Flickr users were unearthing the interesting images from the 5 million plus collection and creating all sorts of valuable metadata.
