From Jared in a different bug, recording here FTR.

@luis, I can think of 2 options, I don't know how possible either are…

1. modify the image, add a footer which contains the basic licensing req. as a
watermark

2. modify the request for the description text only when pulled from twitter
and include the licensing info in the description sent to twitter.
------------

Let's discuss in real life, but:

1. I'd love, love for us to build a "add a tasteful license watermark" tool
into our stack (for a whole variety of purposes other than this one); no idea
if that makes sense as a showstopper here, though. As an example,
@opensourceway on twitter does this with a variety of their images- e.g.
https://twitter.com/opensourceway/status/501817634510209024 

But I think they do this for *all* their images, not just the ones they pipe to
twitter.

For both #1 and #2, the content is fed to twitter from meta tags, so they're
happy to take separate/auto-generated content for every content. Of course,
it's another several hundred bytes a page, etc., etc.

On #2, there is only 200 characters to work with, so hard to see what a good
attribution might look like in that context. (Simply CC BY-SA?)
