[Foundation-l] Commons content reuse how-to?

I have an email addres, wp at davidgerard.co.uk, set up for en:wp press
queries. Of course, it gets used as a sort of OTRS replacement.

One query I've gotten a bit lately is "may we reuse this text?" or
"may we reuse this image?" I email back explaining how the original
contributor owns it and there will be a license attached, which may be
easy or hard to keep to the terms of.

There is [[Commons:Licensing]], which seems mainly to be for
contributors. But is there a page on Commons that is a simple guide to
people wanting to reuse content? If not, should there be? Is there a
page anywhere else that serves this purpose?

(Let's assume for the moment I have little interest in diving
headfirst into Commons politics.)
