Summary: "You need to attribute the author" is wrong in case of
CC0/Public Domain files
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified

Test case: see URL.
The image is released under CC0 by the photographer. The text "You need to
attribute the author" shown by the MultimediaViewer is wrong. No attribution is
legally needed.
I suggest to show an alternative message in case of CC0/Public Domain files.
Something like "No attribution needed. Cite suggestion:"
