Hey there,

I want to communicate the creation of a chart in OSM wiki with the 
intention to give wiki users an overview and easy guideline what to do 
when uploading image files regarding an applicable license.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Drafts/Media_file_license_chart

Sparked by the efforts of Mateusz Konieczny to make advance with the 
many files without any information provided, I created a draft with the 
most common image types and the possible / desirable licenses, as far as 
I know it, also with contributions by Mateusz.

As of now I think it is reasonably applicable and useful. So you might 
want to have a look at it.
I do appreciate each check of it.

IMHO it shouldn't become bigger and more complex than it is already.

I plan to move the chart from draft to main namespace and link it on the 
relevant help pages at about March 1st.

Kind regards,
Chris
