A more proactive approach would be very welcome where it comes to featured pictures. WMF photographers have occasionally discovered their work reused without credit in commercial advertising.

After my recent perusals of reuses of my images, here's my take:
No one is ever going to pay attention to, let alone understand, let alone respect, let alone follow the CC-BY or GFDL requirement for credit. Soon, we will stop asking for it.
In order for it to happen, we would have to: a) Make the requirement really really prominent b) Respect it ourselves c) Vehemently complain in a very public manner when a few individuals fail to do so.
when d) we have far bigger fish to fry.
Open question: do you think the Foundation and/or local chapters should complain more when their local media fail to respect Wikimedia copyrights?
