Note: Please upload some of your images to the Wikimedia Commons. You, as the creator of the images, must choose the free image license of your choice. Please see: Commons:Upload and the Upload your own work page. The free image license is chosen from the licensing dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can indicate the free image license on your website, gallery, Flickr account, Picasa account, etc.. Something like, I release all my images (or indicate some images) under a particular free image license. There are 2 free Creative Commons (CC) image licenses that Wikipedia and the Commons accept: CC-BY, and CC-BY-SA. See the {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} and {{Cc-by-3.0}} templates.

The table below consists of the list of license tags found in the dropdown license selector menu (at a certain point in time) at the bottom of the "own work" upload page on the wikimedia commons:
For more info see the discussions at:
- MediaWiki talk:Licenses#Newbie uploading problem
- MediaWiki talk:Uploadtext/ownwork#Table of license tags. Links for more info
Some old ideas below concerning the "Upload your own work" page. License choices have since changed. The table has some useful formatting though.
Some of the instructions to the right of the table below refer to the dropdown selector menu near the bottom of Special:Upload&uselang=ownwork.
| License tags used in selector menu. In the same order as the menu. |
|
|---|---|
| Best | {{self |GFDL |cc-by-sa-all}}
{{PD-self}} |
| Better | {{self |GFDL |cc-by-sa-3.0}}
|
| Good | {{self |cc-by-sa-3.0}}

Hover over an entry in the dropdown selector menu to see the license tag for that entry. To see what each tag produces click its entry in the dropdown selector menu. The license box for that tag will show up below the menu. Any of the tags in the table can be copied directly into the upload form. They can be copied into an image page after uploading if you have forgotten to add a license tag, or if you need to correct the license tag. For more info on the components making up the various license tags click the links in the table.
