AFAIK, these clickable images are mainly used to direct either to other
Wikimedia sister projects, or to really big portals. In the first case, the
logos are the property of the Wikimedia Foundation. Is there any issue with
not giving the license-information?

In the second case, the images are used to direct people to pages which are
symbolized by these images. I suggest the target page includes the image
linking to it (classic image include, that links to the image description
page). Thus, if people want to know the license-information, they have to
click twice, but it's easier than to dig in templates.
