But these are essentially already reviewed!
That's why it appears so
useful to me. The only case this would miss is where the Flickr
uploader has lied and the work is not actually their own (eg they
uploaded all the promo images for their favourite band, and just
happened to set the license as CC-BY for all their files).
They're already reviewed by someone who, quite likely, is not very
familiar with copyright law (like, it must be admitted, most people
who can upload to the Commons). However, this is a decision for
Commonsers to make, and I won't venture an opinion. I was just
suggesting that permissions functionality might be welcomed by some
who'd like to use the extension.
OK, sure.
Heck, there are some wikis that are
totally locked down, and those certainly wouldn't
want anons uploading
random images to them.
If you try to import a Flickr image when you're not logged in, the
"you need to login to upload" MediaWiki warning still comes up. I
already tried it. :)
