Ah, that is a great idea! I might try and push for something like that on the en version, if it isn't being done already. Unfortunately, I've been gone so long that I don't know how these {{}} tags actually work. Could someone point be to the appropriate article on en that explains them? Thanks!

Well, I'm glad the copyright issues have been cleared up. Thank you everyone for your responses. Is any work being done to allow the tagging of images as copyrighted or GFDL? I would like to see this happen before we have millions of copyrighted images on wikipedia. Otherwise, it could be a lot more work trying to find the copyrighted images to tag them. It concerns me that some of our free (as in freedom, not beer) content is dependent on non-free content. However, if we can draw a clear line between copyrighted and GFDL content on the database side of things, I think this will help keep the free and non-free content separate, allowing anyone to use our free content freely, without a risk of accidentally including non-free content.
On fr:, we are doing it now. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_Utilisateur:Tipiac/images and the list is getting smaller every minute.
We use the following tags whenever possible: {{GFDL}} {{DomainePublic}} {{FairUse}} {{LicenceInconnue}} (unknown)
So later on, we can either clarify or remove the unknown licence images.
Yann
