I took it upon myself to edit the English Wikinews disclaimer to qualify that not all pictures are as free or similarly licensed as the text.
So, yes, a community issue; likely one where you simply need to be bold and work from the revised wording to a consensus.

Isn't the general disclaimer a local thing rather than a global one? I think this is a matter for the individual communities, not the Foundation.
It's a legal matter, so it probably does fall on the foundation.
To the best of my knowledge, the foundation has not created any of the existing disclaimers or dictated their contents. That makes them entirely community products, subject to the same process as any other wiki page. I'll defer to our lawyer if he thinks it should be otherwise, but that's how I understand the situation.
