Hello.

Thanks for the quick answer!

[No full license texts in an arbitrary MW installation]

That means licenses will need a bit of configuration, maybe together  
with the supply of license texts (or a mapping from valid license  
templates to "well-known" license names for the image licenses).

Do you know if there's anything planned to formalize this in some way  
in the future? A fresh MediaWiki install lets the user easily choose  
the license. Regarding the efforts of the Wikimedia Foundation, the  
whole Wikipedia community etc. to propagate Free content, I think it  
would be a worthwhile goal to include and provide this information in  
some standard way.

(The "rights" attribute in meta=siteinfo already exists, so I think my  
proposal is not completely beside the point :-)

That would be an additional GET request then, but that's not the worst  
thing that could happen :-)

Thanks and regards,
Johannes Beigel
