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.

There is another similar recommendation, see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/XMP You could also populate XMP if the library you are using makes it easy to do so. > I don't, however, think that using the Comment tag (0x9286), is a good > idea.
