On a more general note: in my opinion an uploader is ALWAYS responsible for correct and complete license and source information. It is not a duty for an admin to go and get it when either is missing, nor should the Commons admin chase al around the Wikimedia landscape to notify an uploader on his home wiki(s).
It is the responsibility of admins to ensure no policy violations occur, to notify users of possible violations and/or missing information and educate users where needed.
Requiring admins to follow each and every link in search for information regarding an image is definately not the way to go, in my opinion.
Cheers!

Yes, you're right. That image was automatically flagged as no-license by Orgullobot, so there's automation and bots are not very intelligent ;-)
The good notice is that nobody lost time flagging it, maybe it wasn't even check by a human before you arrived. The uploader got a message but didn't correct it.
