Probably the metadata is XMP <http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xmp.html>,
which is from Adobe, but is an open format. I briefly mentioned XMP
before <http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-metadata/2003-May/000113.html>
and do have creating guidelines for CC license info in XMP (which is RDF-
based) and sample code on my TODO list.
I haven't investigated yet, but I've heard that it should be possible to
create a XMP plugin for CC license metadata which would allow users of
XMP-aware Adbobe products to read and write (where applicable) CC
license metadata in supported formats. If anyone would like to take
up this research, please let me know!
