Thread:Extension talk:MobileFrontend/Uploads related message texts/reply

We're working on a new version of the messages, which will hopefully address some of these issues. To be honest, though, I don't think there's any perfect way to describe the scope and licensing requirements of Commons to someone on a mobile device (or desktop for that matter, but that's a separate issue...), and you kind of have to assume 80% of people will only glance at the keywords and ignore the nuance. "Photos that you took yourself" has two sub-optimal cursory readings, "photos that you took OF yourself" (which we're seeing quite a lot of in mobile web uploads) and "photos that you took from other places yourself." Most people these days don't bat an eyelash at "taking" a photo from Facebook or Twitter and considering it theirs. "Own" at least avoids the former, and I don't think it's much more abstract than "take."

As for the copyrighted thing, technically Creative Commons licenses are copyleft :)
