We could probably implement something very similar to
flickr's basic
"use this image" approach with a link in the toolbox; a "select the
size you want" page with preformatted HTML to use it and link back to
us.

Like - this? ;-)

I couldn't resist *that* temptation!!!
This would probably be the simplest thing to get up
and running - he
said, waving his hands - and probably more generally useful than most
of the other API stuff. However, we'd still need to find a way of
getting author and license information standardised, so that the tool
could pull them in.
I'm working on that ;-)
I could probably "screenscrape" the categories and find those that
look like a license.
Determining the author might prove harder. There's the upload log
(latest uploader if multiple?) and possible screenscraping of the
Information template. Tricky.
Help is welcome! :-)
