... cool, but probably not that great a feature for WMF projects, because copyright violations are widespread as it is. There's a fine line between making images easily uploadable and, well, discouraging people from uploading stuff.
Yes, I understand that concern for WMF projects.
Still... making it harder to upload images does not guarantee that people who manage to do it will be aware of copyright issues. A better solution would be for example, for any upload dialog (whether it be the current clunky upload dialog or a better, drag-and-drop improved one) displays a very prominent message about making sure that the image has no copyright attached to it (and that, btw, just because you got it on the web doesn't mean that it doesn't have a copyright).
But improving the interface for working with images once you've got them, for embedding them in existing pages, etc. would be great. And
it
would be nice to not make the upload/licensing wizard just that, and not a crazy templated hack.
Right.
