Thank Boyoung, this is really needed in Canvas! 

I have been assisting with faculty workshops for migrating to Canvas and everyone is excited about the built-in option to use the Flickr Creative Commons images but most faculty and/or trainers don’t realise that attribution is required and often equate these images with those in the public domain.   Incorporating an attribution tool into the Rich Content Editor is going to make it much easier for faculty to correctly use and attribute creative commons images.

All the best,
Una
