Once upon a time ;-) I implemented a checkbox system where the uploading party has to choose "GFDL/PD/fair use/something else" upon upload. Would be nice to automatically categorize images, or at least assign blame to a specific user ;-)
Good idea. I would like to get another field 'author' - that's the second thing I think we should have, every image should have its copyright status AND the name of the person or institute that either holds the copyright or would hold it if the material was not in the PD.
Information: information about the image: long description, tools used to make image, tools used to manipulate image, etc.
Better yet: I add the following fields for every image I upload:
Credit(s): Who gets credit for the image, i.e. the author(s)
License/Copyright: Is the image copyrighted, or PD? Is it licensed under some license? which one?
Source: Where did the uploader get the image from
