There's a long outstanding bug [1] to ensure that accurate attribution
is maintained when templates are substituted. I don't think this is
the same as maintaining attribution of external imports, but it may be
that whatever solution is implemented for one can be generalised to
allow the other.

After asking around, one suggestion was to keep
the licensing state in
the page_props table. This seems very reasonable and I would be
interested in comments by this community on the idea. Of course, there
has to be a way to get this state set, but it seems likely that could be
achieved using an extension triggered when an article is edited.
Note that the page_props table is parser-owned. This means that
entries for a specific page are cleared and reinserted when a page is
reparsed. You should take that into account when using the page_props
table.
I'm not sure if page_props is the correct way to go. Copyright is
associated to a specific text or image revision. Therefore, it seems
more obvious to put the licensing in the revision and image table and
their respective archive tables.
