Special:Upload should have a much more obvious statement of this than 
merely a checkbox for "I affirm that the copyright holder of this file 
agrees to license it under the terms of the 
[[Wikipedia:Copyrights|Wikipedia copyright]]." It ought to have a 
warning similar to what shows up below the box on an editing page, 
without the stuff specifically oriented to text. Like this:

"All contributions to Wikipedia are released under the GNU Free 
Documentation License (see [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]] for details). If you 
do not want your contribution to be modified and redistributed at will, 
then do not submit it. By submitting your work you promise you created 
it yourself, or copied it from [[public domain]] resources--this does 
not include most web pages. DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT 
PERMISSION!"

Can we get this change made, please?
