That sounds like good idea (about the audio and video elements being
included as-well). I just thought of it because Google does not allow one to
specify the copyright or license in an image search as far as I know. having
a license attribute would make it intuitive for developers to add the
license the same way title and alt attributes are specified.

 That's also copyright.

 Well, not exactly, in such attribute you could also enter copyleft licensees 
 (such as GPL), as also public domain, so
 *license sounds more proper for this.*


 And why img only? this would also be good for audio and video.

 This is one of the things microdata/RDFa are meant to do.
