Currently, these may be used on Vorbis, Speex, FLAC, and Theora as these formats are compatible with the Vorbis Comments schema.
Vorbis Comments is a simple tagging format, and not a metadata system, and is stored inside files. It may be compared with ID3, but in opposition to it, Vorbis Comments are a clear and coherent standard, and not a pile of hacks. Vorbis Comments are written in UPPER CASE.
To put a license on a file which you are entitled the copyright of, use the LICENSE and COPYRIGHT tags.
The LICENSE tag must store an URI pointing to the relevant license documentation.
Example:
LICENSE=http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
The COPYRIGHT tag must store the name of the authoring person or entity. A date should not be stored here, as a DATE tag already exists.
Example:
COPYRIGHT=Xiph.Org Foundation
