For the last 12 years Flickr have a system where
people can click on a
link and get the HTML or BBCODE that properly attributes the image along
with the link to the license and all the rest of the requirements for
the CC license. Why can't commons do the same?
Otherwise its not hard to properly attribute a CC- licensed image.
This was provided in MediaViewer some years ago. (See e.g. today's Commons
POTD
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ehrenstetten_-_%C3%96lbergkapelle6.jpg#/media/File:Ehrenstetten_-_%C3%96lbergkapelle6.jpg>,
unless you're logged into an account that has the feature disabled.)
On viewing the image/media file, users can click the "share" icon, then
pick "embed", and they get an HTML response contains the uploader account name
(with link), the licence name (with link), and a link to the media file's
page on wiki.
This feature could be more visible (at some cost to reader experience), but
it's there.
Hope this helps.
