Hey everyone,
We’ve done some initial thinking on what it would take to standardize the
copyright field in Exif to contain CC license info. We’d like for you to
take a look and provide any initial comments and input. The draft is on
Github, along with a command line tool that demonstrates the concept. The
tool is essentially a proof of concept for a platform like Flickr where one
could imagine a user passing in a JPEG image, adding some info about
creator, title, and license info, and the tool would then update the
specified Exif field(s) in the JPEG file with the details.
Here’s the draft proposal:

Here’s the command line proof of concept for developers:
https://github.com/creativecommons/exif/blob/master/ccexif.pl
Here’s the visual depicting how the process works generally:

You can leave feedback as an issue in the Github repo, on this discussion
list, or directly to me. I’m also inviting feedback from potential platform
partners.
The goal is to get some version of this widely adopted, so interest and
feedback is essential. I’ve listed below some of the platforms I am talking
to. If you have any others you’d like to connect me with at this point,
please get in touch!
Best,
Jane, Matt, and Rob

Ah, forgot to say: Jane, this initiative seems to
very much overlap the
DPLA/Europeana ongoing "standardization" effort:

Looks like they published something:
