I agree.  It doesn't actually have to be in the caption; in a tiny
font immediately under the image is fine.  If we're uncomfortable with
the author name, we should at least put something like 'click to see
copyright information' there.

I also think we should improve our handling of image metadata in
thumbnails.  At the very least we should retain copyright information
embedded in the original.
