If find this a very good approach and advance.

However, I might suggest to additionally offer at least the Creative 
Commons license types as further options / choices for a picture 
publisher (for images only) in WP.  Its as easy as with Gnu Fdl to link 
the license info to the Creative Commons (CC) full text license text of 
the CC-Website.

I suggest to consider it, because CC use is growing especially for media 
types of content. And CC should therefore be not left out since more and 
more picture databases grow under CC which can be used for WP too. And 
they should not be put under "LicenseInconnue" (rest of the pack) only 
because there is no other option for the CC licenses available.
