We do have [[COM:COWN]] and [[COM:CLIC]].
Most of the summarising has been done in the upload messages, I think...
Anything in particular that you find it missing? I fully agree with previous
authors: copyright stuff is hard. Going outside one's contry's jurisdiction
makes it even harder. "Making it work on Commons" is "impossible" (but
we do
make it happen!)

Yeah. Looking at his talk page makes me sad --
the usual round of
scripted & stacked image deletion warnings for copyright reasons. We
need socially more appropriate ways to deal with copyright issues.
The thing is...
Copyright is hard. It is a brick wall that is high, and I don't know
of any way of getting around it easily or quickly that isn't cheating,
ie fundamentally wrong, and likely to bite you on the arse in the
future. It's like weight loss, there is only one way that works - the
hard way.
I'm also thinking that Commons:Licensing is a long and hard document to read
and above all very scary for new users. It tries to set out the details of
our licensing policy. Maybe we should create a summarizing page that
outlines the basics and refers to the relevant Commons:Licensing,
Commons:Derivative_works, etc.?
