Suggestion: Show media license in search results

Problems:

  • As a reader I can't easily find out which license the files have
  • As a media reuser I can't see licenses in search results so that I can find reusable files
  • As an editor I can't easily track down files without a license so that I can delete or add licenses

Background: The search results include, words, size, and upload date. License for the content pages isn't really needed because most pages have the same license, however, media licenses are important for reusers.

Proposed solution: In each search result, alongside upload date add the license (maybe as an icon) fetched from the commons metadata api.

Note: this is not the same as the previous metadata related suggestion. This suggestion merely proposes the addition of a license label next to each file result.
