What is the best practice for setting JPEG metadata for CC-BY-NC licensed pictures?

Question

I want to publish my pictures with a CC-BY-NC license but I could not find a tutorial how store this information with my JPEG metadata.

Is there a best practice? Do services like Flickr, Google+ or Facebook read this information?

Creative Commons has guidance on the use of XMP metadata to store licensing information. (This isn't a complete answer because it doesn't address how online services use the information. It would also be nice to discuss how to enter the metadata in Lightroom or other tools.) wiki.creativecommons.org/XMP

If you are using Photoshop you can go to File > File Info - This will allow you to include copyright data in the JPEG Metadata.

I am not aware of how services like Flickr, Google or Facebook handle metadata so I cannot comment there.
