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

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?
