That's not a bad idea actually. As long as we leave {{OwnWork}}. With all our bots running around now there should be far fewer cases.
Probably I would just make it {{GFDL}} though. I think it'd be stretching it to put a CC license, just because we like them. :) Whereas it's much more likely they're aware that Wikipedia is GFDL.
At the moment {{own work}} actually says it is depreciated to NLD. :| I rather disagree with this but I understand the need for it. These OwnWorks just hang around forever...

At the German Wikipedia a similar template ({{Bild-wahrscheinlich-GFDL}}, "Image likely to be GFDL") has been deleted recently because it was not clear in some cases whether the user really wanted to release it under this license. de:User:Historiograf stated that one should not simply assume a license under which a picture is released, especially it a user did not understand the "legal technicalities".
