<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes, at upload time, automatically. It should be possible to request that a fields "author" and "licence" be filled and to automatically update the corresponding EXIF tags if they are void. Or even to have some elementary data-mining component that would extract the data from Template:information and such things.
