Uh... if it just says "these images have been tagged GFDL/PD/whatever, do you want to transfer them to the Commons?" I would have to say no. Transferring images is a good opportunity to re-examine the licenses and sources provided for many images on local projects, which are often quite suspect! Transferrers should be quite stringent in requiring a source (that if online, is actually *checked*) and a license justification - for non "(PD/GFDL/whatever)-self" items. For self created items, some common sense is needed... low res items should generally be treated with a great deal of suspicion.
I agree very strongly with Brianna on this. Commons should be extremely hardcore about sourcing and license checking... this is a great point in the overall workflow to do a rigorous second check on anything being brought from individual projects.
