Thanks Brion, Francis, NSK.

I've hacked SpecialUpload.php and changed: <input tabindex='3' type='checkbox' name="wpUploadAffirm" value="1" id="wpUploadAffirm" /> to: <input tabindex='3' type='hidden' name="wpUploadAffirm" value="1" id="wpUploadAffirm" />

This hides the checkbox nicely. We'll just need to reapply this with future updates ;-)

Regards,

al.

$wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf = false;

That will have no effect on the copyright check box on the upload page, it controls an unrelated option for generating XML metadata which describes your selected site copyright licensing option.

AFAIK there is no configuration option to turn the box off (but there is one to use an alternate system when you are asked for some specific information on source and licensing).
