Ah! yes. We raise it from zero to... practically zero :) Seriously, this buys no protection against any serious/meaningful attempts at fraud, while making it incredibly onerous for the vast, vast majority of the population that can't guarantee a permanent web presence. > > That seems incredibly onerous. > > It may be, but if I may repeat myself, embedding a reference to a > license itself is incredibly worthless. You're demanding a higher level of accountability with this than with any other licensing system I've ever seen. When I publish my code under GPL, I don't include a link in the source saying 'this is a link to a webpage 'proving' that the code is under GPL', I just do it. People publish books under CC all the time which just say 'the license is foo', even though PDFs, HTML, and text are all editable- just like the exif fields. I'm really not clear why EXIFs, as opposed to any other editable content format ever, deserve this special publisher burden.
