Well, yeah. Closest I've come to this is e.g. uploading an image by
[[:en:User:Arkady Rose]] (my girlfriend) to Commons because she can't
be bothered creating Yet Another Login. I uploaded it myself and said
it was by her and put there under copyleft-self (dual GFDL and
CC-by-sa) with her permission. If some hardworking wikilawyer started
claiming the image must therefore be deleted as a risk to the project
(what if EVERYONE did this?) then I fear my legendary patience and
calm might slip.
