Licensing screenshots

Jump to: navigation, search

While uploading a screenshot I could not select (e.g.) GPL as a license option.

In general, does WE need to do something similar (adapted) to

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Commons_licensing_help

including related pages such as : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Screenshots

Or can we simply adopt all of their policies?

I was thinking of creating an equivalent of Wikipedia's Free screenshot template - but it seems to involve 24 templates and will take some time and effort - unless anyone knows of a quick way of importing templates from Wikipedia?

The obvious workaround is to upload images and other media files to commons.wikimedia.org (or blip.tv, ..., etc.)

Comments?
