That sounds like a thing we could do anyway. Maybe we could add something 
additional to the link "Reuse this image" in {{information}} to the license 
tags. I'm thinking about a text that you can copy to your website/newspaper 
in order to get a valid credit line in dependence of the license. Maybe a 
box saying: "You can use this picture, if you put the following line under 
it".

We could even use some JS magic in order to insert the author mentioned in 
{{information}}

What do you think?

Regards.
