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.
I've updated http://wiki.crea
tivecommons.org/Exif to reflect this.

I think you mean XMP. There is another similar
recommendation, see
http://wiki.creat
ivecommons.org/XMP
You could also populate XMP if the library you are using
makes it easy
to do so.

Good point. Comment sounds fairly unusable.
