And how do we tell that the image is "GFDL without requested attribution?".
By looking at the image description and seeing if they request attribution?

So is getting people not to upload copyrighted images, a far greater problem. There are many things we can't enforce. This seems a trivial problem.
Also, I've been checking, and many of these navigation icons have attribution requirements. Most seem to be LGPLed, taken from varrious free software packages.
What are their requirements? "Must show the following text when clicked upon?" There are lots of other ways of providing attribution information.
You really, really don't want MediaWiki to allow linkable images?
