ImageBrowsing: display license information in DetailView
Closed, ResolvedPublic5 Estimated Story PointsSpike

Description

Per this community feedback comment, we may need to include license information alongside the images we are displaying in the new ImageBrowsing feature – at least in the DetailView (when a given image is expanded at the top).

This is a change that can be deployed *after* the current A/B test is complete (we don't want to make significant user-facing changes mid-test). But we should start this work soon so it's ready if we need to move before then.

  • Caption line height should shrink by 1, to make room for license
  • There should be a license link below the caption (insofar there is one), in the same color as the caption
  • License name (e.g. CC BY 4.0) should be shown
  • License should link to the license section of the file page

Patch is ready & has been +1'ed.
Since we do not intend to merge the patch at this point, I've filed T410565 to follow up and get this merged later on.
I think we can close this out.
