The file namespace list all files uploaded to Wikibooks and describes them. Wikibooks requires that all uploaded files include proper copyright and licensing information on their description page. Some files (like images, videos, and audio files) can also be embedded on pages.

My file is missing a copyright template, or has {{no license}}.: What you need to do is go to the file's description page (for images just click the image wherever you inserted it), edit the page, and add a correct tag.
