Wow, thanks! That was very informative, and timely as I'm starting work 
on an audio-blogging project into which I hope to weave CC license support.

But since I already run an imageblog with CC license support, I have to 
ask: is there are recommended field for license data in JPEG, PNG, 
and/or GIF images? A while back I was considering ways to put it in the 
HTTP headers that would be served with each image, but it makes more 
sense to embed a license-info URL in the image itself.

So... IPTC? EXIF? Is it possible to agree on and publicize a standard?
