Hi.

A friend of mine just tried to upload an image to Wikipedia which was 
given to him by another friend.

Unfortunately the Upload page only provides the options:

* made by someone else for use on Wikipedia only
* made by someone else for non-commercial use only

and both of these options lead to a speedy-deletion warning. The most 
OBVIOUS options are missing:

* made by someone else and licenced as (whatever free/open licence)
* made by someone else and placed in the public domain

Because of this, he is forced to use a lower-quality image or no image 
at all (or to lie by claiming to be the author of the work).

I think this should be fixed as soon as possible so that normal, 
reasonable people can upload normal, reasonable images.

Very frustrated,
Timwi
