I don't really like that option.

I don't think another metadata field would hurt.  It could be a
checkbox rather than a text input, maybe.

To answer Bob: I know I don't _have_ to credit the photographer for a
public domain image, but I _want_ to.

(We're probably going to avoid the issue for now, though, by me making
some trivial modification to the photos and releasing them as Creative
Commons - a solution suggested by the photographer himself.)
