Comment 2 for bug 300420

Well i am not sure this approach is right. Let me explain:

I just found a picture (is Ubuntu for you?) and let me tell you what I had to do to share it in SU:

1 I go to share
2 Fill in all necessary data
3 Try to upload by Just using the image tas (bth with the same image, as in the same archive uploaded)
4 I am told that i need a source
5 I make a GZ file of the big image
6 I make a smaller PNG file of the original JPG
7 I upload it succesfully

I believe that it has marketing value for many people, even if the source is not present, because it can either:

1 generate the source eventually showing up
2 People using the *high resolution* image

Thus, *Source* should NOT be a requirement, just a recommended option.

And this gets me back to my point: I want to see material that has a source so I can change it.

I can still materials that don't have the source, because I have permission to do so, but it's a matter of practicality basically. So being able to identify the usable material in that context is worthwhile.

Licence could become an issue if people start pushing us for CC-BY-NC for instance. there's lots of material out there that can be used for community matters, as long as it is not for commercial uses.

The Licence search should be an option as well in that context. But it depends what kind of pragmatical choice we are willing to make. Technically it is just a matter of adding a couple of dropdown menues really.

What do you think?
