Google’s “Licensable Images†feature is now live
IPTC,
Sept 09, 2020
In theory this should improve the discoverability of sharable photos, though the technical hurdle might be too much. "When photo owners include a photograph's Web Statement of Rights (also known as Copyright Info URL) in an image's embedded metadata, Google will display a 'Licensable' badge on the image in Google Images search results." More information here and an example here. Most photo editing software supports some means of embedding International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata within an image file, but what would really be useful for people like me would be an option in (say) Flickr to embed the information in my entire photo library of 34,000 openly licensed photos with one command.
