Right - I was actually thinking of something that would be activated
(for want of a better word) when including the image within an
article. Couldn't it be a simple template that would include the image
as well as the colours/texts around the image that indicate "fair use
- not free"? True, this would mean it is up to the person including
the image to see whether the image is free or fair use - but it could
easily become standard practice.
