Hoi,
If you assume that your tool is only to be used for GFDL content then fine,
but what would you do if the license is a different one ?? You restrict the
use of your tool if you assume GFDL. Given that it is not unlikely that
everything in the WMF may go to the CC-by-sa, it is not that brilliant an
idea anyway,
Well, the license can probably be updated easily (even site-specific).
And we're still GFDL, mostly...
What would be neat (and neccessary at some point): Incorporate the
license information for each image used. Because /these/ can be
different than GFDL.
You might be able to use my Commons API for this in the near future:
http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commonsapi.php
provided the images are on Commons. For images on the wikipedias, just
include the image page.
Cheers,
Magnus
