Based on the above comments, I haven't changed anything -- the work 
vocabulary pretty much already addresses this use case in HTML, and 
addressing it in other formats is a problem for another working group.

And it is worth saying that a copyright notice is not a license.  Copyright 
Martin Luther 1517 doesn't tell you anything at all about what permissions 
Martin is granting you.  And rights permissions languages are much more 
complex...

 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.

Okay, so there is HTML5 Microdata and RDFa that does this (and more).
If you didn't know, you can specify a license for content with
@rel=license also. What else exactly do you need ?
