After modifications based on comments, and discussion with stakeholders, this proposal is now open again for vote: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Image This tag has over 12,000 uses, and I feel it is time to define the expectations for the tag clearly.
The big change is a definition that the image tag point to an index page which defines the license status, (rather than depending on the EXIF data). Software agents can choose to ignore images with incompatible licenses, or irregular tagging. This practice is already common though not universal: die folgenden Zahlen setzen eindeutige Akzente: the following numbers show patterns: commons/wikipedia (*wiki?edia*) = 6358 + 611 (File:*) flickr = 962 + 31(flic.kr) panoramio = 425 dropbox = 145 photobucket = 95 brest-metropole-oceane = 86 findafountain = 83 - lh3.ggpht.com = 25
