Dynamically generated copyright message
Users of Stellarium should have a method of getting a list of copyright data and license conditions for images which are on-screen. This is useful for people wanting to use screenshots of the program. It also enables us to use images which require attribution.

Whiteboard
We don't have to have a message displayed on screen at all times, although we should have the option to turn it on.
For a given moment, a method should exist to get the following:
For each image / dataset used to generate the display, a copyright message may be generated/displayed if necessary:
"Copyright (C) 1999; 2010: Herm Perez; Cloe Ashton"
It should also be possible to generate a more detailed "license terms" text, which, for each image with re-distribution conditions attached would add something to the text. e.g:
Pleiades Image: Copyright (C) 1999 Herm Perez.
License: Feel free to use these images, if you use them in a commercial setting please attribute the source.
Constellation Art: Copyright (C) 2010 Cloe Ashton.
