Although this would have lots of "bad uses", there are times when it
would be useful, like uploading images related to WP:FPC. There are
times you'd like to upload an image that demonstrates a technique,
flaw, related image etc - but it's your own private photo and you
don't want to release it under GFDL. For example, someone is
nominating a photo of a dragonfly, and says it's great. You want to
show them a much better photo of a dragonfly that you took (to show
how easy it is), but you don't want to release it under free licence.
Seem reasonable?

The current "best practice" is simply not to label it at all - it will
probably survive deletion for 1-2 weeks.
