There is a solution, but it’s a bit hacky. You can get the categories of the file via the MWAPI service [1] and then try to match those categories that denote a license (for example, a category starting with “CC-” *probably* indicates a Creative Commons license). Here’s a query using the example image you mentioned [2]: SELECT ?item ?image ?categoryName WHERE { BIND(wd:Q9188 AS ?item) ?item wdt:P18 ?image. BIND(REPLACE(wikibase:decodeUri(CONCAT("File:", STRAFTER(STR(?image), "/wiki/Special:FilePath/"))), " ", "_") AS ?imageTitle) SERVICE wikibase:mwapi { bd:serviceParam wikibase:api "Categories"; wikibase:endpoint "commons.wikimedia.org"; mwapi:titles ?imageTitle. ?categoryTitle wikibase:apiOutput mwapi:category. } BIND(STRAFTER(?categoryTitle, "Category:") AS ?categoryName) FILTER(STRSTARTS(?categoryName, "CC-")) } In the future, this should become much easier, thanks to Structured Commons [3].
