discussion of the Creative Commons Metadata work

["Mike Linksvayer" <ml AT creativecommons.org>]

You don't have to embed metadata in the file to use a CC license.  Posting
the notice on your web page(s) is good enough.  Embedding has slight added
benefits for people discovering files via p2p filesharing.

If you or anyone have a recommendation for what field in MPEG-4 metadata
we should be using and GPL-compatible library we can use to accomplish
embedding said field in a .m4a file, please do advise.

Thanks!
Mike
