Hoi,
So you are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. There is the license
and the uploader AND it may be PD. The cost of adding this is not calculated
as there is no functionality (as far as I know) that does it. When I print
at my copy shop, I get a prestine copy. Remeber these are typically single
copies.
Thanks,
Gerard

practical, WHERE do you want to have all the information that is so dear
to
you? What are the costs and is this feasible..

It could be in
a discrete line at the bottom of the poster. Just how
much information should be there remains an open question, but there
should be enough for the owner of the printed poster or successive
future owners to determine the copyright status of the picture.
Somewhere down the line an owner may want to republish the picture
(admittedly with reduced quality), but the chain of free licensing will
have been broken. Would we accept uploading such a picture with unknown
origins?
