It seems like a partial practical resolution to this difficulty would involve something only slightly technical... a special page to which we could direct people where they could grant permissions. A simple wizard.
I've negotiated free images from a number of different sources, and I can also testify that it is very awkward when you end up having to press people on the issue of a free license. So much so that I don't really like to do it any more. A wizard would be a great help.

Actually, I think the hardest part isn't explaining the free license.. but rather getting the people to reply-to or cc the permissions queue in their response. This solves *that* issue completely.
Of course, it's a great idea.
What I don't think it would handle well as proposed is multiple images. Whomever implements this should make it cover those some way. :)
