I'd suggest a questionnaire or a wizard-like sequence of questions and optional
answers which results in suggestion of which license (if any!) best suits the author's

For instance:
* I declare I am the original author of the image. Y/N
Actually our main problem is here.
Quite a lot of people do not understand what "original" means or what
"author" means. I think we should rephrase this as "I am the
photographer", "I scan the image from a book", "I copied the image
from
...", etc.
** I allow commercial uses of my work. Y/N
** I allow modifications of my work. Y/N
*** I require attribution. Y/N
**** I require further distributions being released under the same conditions. Y/N
There is no point to go further if the first question is not properly
understood.
Good side is that people will make more informed
decisions.
Bad side... this will reduce the number of uploads...
