My Photoshop Help says, that for Windows, Photoshop-Metadata uses the possibilities of the fileformats JPEG, TIFF and PDF and for MacOS, XMP is used for every fileformat available in the Photoshop save-menue

My actual knowledge is, that JPEG and TIFF are using the IPTC specifications for metadata, which are more simple and less powerful then XMP

I´m not 100% shure, but with IPTC it should be possible to integrate a URL to a creative commons license-text direct into the TIFF and JPEG Images via the photoshop menue "file information"
As photoshop is scriptable, automatic embedding of licens information should be possible for a large amount of pictures without any special plugins.

For people, which have not Photoshop, it should be possible with GIMP

Probably the metadata is XMP <http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xmp.html>,
which is from Adobe, but is an open format.
