Hi Nathan, about the media manager plugin (I sent an email some time ago). I'm familiar with current WordPress features and I know they already got OEmbed implemented [1]. It's just not media manger where it is used, it's the editor. I was describing my proposal for media manager that will include options for chosing a licence and OEmbed can be integrated into that. Though you also mentioned adding the licence text into the article, I don't think we should consider adding raw HTML. WordPress has shortcodes support and I opt for using them. It will also be easier to handle data when updating it. Also, another small feature I would like to add is option to first update (fetch the available licenses on a certain country and update their description/title accordingly to blog locale) and choose what licenses will be used on blog (I don't think an end-user uses all the available cc licenses) so this will be a good usability improvement. I would be happy to hear your opinion about the small changes I got about this idea.
