Yes, we're long overdue for this, as well as a required field for entering source information.

It would actually be craftier to leave in the "possibly unfree" option as a sort of honeypot, and routinely go through and delete all the images so marked. Going by edit notes I've seen, lots of uploaders engage in a sort of wishful thinking process, where they know in their heart of hearts that they're doing a no-no, but they don't want to admit it.

I'd like to add something to this: One of the things that I think causes an image to be either not tagged or mistagged is the sheer number and variety of tags available. I avoid uploading images altogether because there appear to be so many different possibilities for the images I upload. As a sort of tangent suggestion, it'd be nice to have a selection of tags that were a bit easier to differentiate between for someone like myself who isn't entirely familiar with copyright.
