    for every image i upload, a database entry is created (in wp_postmeta)

    in the table is an entry wich looks like this:
    _wp_attachment_metadata
    a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"160";s:6:"height";s:3:"160";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:22:"height='96' width='96'";s:4:"file";s:13:"banner180.png";s:5:"sizes";a:1:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:21:"banner180-150x150.png";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"150";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"0";s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:1:"0";s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";s:1:"0";s:3:"iso";s:1:"0";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:1:"0";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}}

    how do i edit this fiels? how do i add a copyright-information for my images? if i copy an image from wikipedia/commons oder flickr i need to add gfdl- oder cc-licence-information, ho do i do that?

    It's an interesting question. I am curious how far metadata actually goes in satisfying a attribution/copyright license requirement.

    Here is one idea...

    Would it be possible (more productive) to use an EXIF/Metadata editing tool to edit the metadata info on your copyrighted photos before uploading them to your blog? Sure beats slogging around in the database.
