That's true. But even print sources *should* give a full credit line
if asked to do so.

That should ideally include the name of the photographer, and that it
is GFDL content. Technically, I'm not sure if Wikipedia even needs to
be mentioned (we are just the middleman), but I'm sure there is some
clause somewhere that requires it.
