I'd recommend populating it with a URL referencing a page that contains
a copyright notice for the embedded file. I link to a license is nearly
worthless -- anyone can add such a link to any image and there is no
telling who did it or whether the image is actually licensed.

So I have to have personal web publishing capabilities if I want to
embed a license in a file, even one that (say) isn't public yet, or
which I currently choose to distribute by methods other than the web?
That seems incredibly onerous.
