EXIF is very similar to TCOP in MP3, and ICOP in MP2/4, so I lean toward
supporting in audio and video. I do recommend a slight modifier of how the
text should read:
Instead of:
C 1995 Example Photographer. Licensed to the public under
http://creativcommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ verify at
http://example.com/licenseinfo
C 2005 Example Photographer <email AT example.com> -- This work is licensed to
the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike

http://example.com/licenseinfo
