[Foundation-l] Clickable images

[effe iets anders]

Hello all,

I think we all saw them. Clickable images. Very usefull, especially on
the main page etc, but there are some slight problems. You can not
access the license-information without digging in the sourcecode of
the page. And that might be in a template in a template etc. So that's
why I am wondering:

Should it be allowed at all to make images clickable, as people cannot
check the license-information?

Or should it maybe not be allowed to make images clickable when the
licence requires that attribution should be given to the author? (Like
GFDL, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA etc) So it should be allowed with PD?

This is not because I want to hurry this through, but would like to
share some thoughts on this behalf. Maybe it should be wise to make
this "global" policy when we could come to a clear result. I am no
lawyer myself, but I just have the feeling that we are very much
searching the border of what is allowed with these
clickimage-templates etc. (There is also some function in MediaWiki
that shows one image but links to another, btw, the discussion is the
same there)

Greetings, hoping for fruitfull discussion,

Lodewijk
