I just want to let you know that I wrote a simple Java
program that is
able to insert (and show) the Creative Commons License info
into the XMP
stream of a PDF file.
This has been mainly developed for the Linux platform, but
since it is
written in Java, it can run on every platform.
You can find all the details, and the code, on my home page
at:
