I've always wondered why there isn't a

uploader to select the copyright that they think fits best and then it
auto-inserts the template when the image info page is created.
There is.
The problem is that it (obviously) isn't compulsary. There would be no
untagged images if the upload only worked if you selected a tag. That said,
we'd probably end up with spurious tags if we forced tagging...which might
lead to more problems
Quite. When the selector was introduced, quite a few uploaders were
"license roulette"-ing and tagging obviously copyrighted images as
anything they could find, usually tags like GPL and
CopyrightedFreeUse.
