It could be in a discrete line at the bottom of the poster.  Just how 
much information should be there remains an open question, but there 
should be enough for the owner of the printed poster or successive 
future owners to determine the copyright status of the picture.  
Somewhere down the line an owner may want to republish the picture 
(admittedly with reduced quality), but the chain of free licensing will 
have been broken.  Would we accept uploading such a picture with unknown 
origins?
