This would strongly restrict visitors in posting images/code.  A lot of 
people don't want their work to be used elsewhere without restrictions, 
in cases of contract work made for others it would sometimes even be 
impossible to show it there.

Apart from that the gallery in question would not be correct under the 
Creative Commons license either - it requires credits to the Author 
being given.
