IANAL, but this seems much too vague from a legal point of view. It would be 
preferable to let users choose between existing, well-established licenses 
that already have formal definitions, terms and conditions. That would also 
simplify image use for third parties. See for instance how Wikimedia Commons 
handles this: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing
