EXIF can contain copyright information but so can anything; this isn't
about copyright, it's about the information from a digital camera when the
data from that camera has been converted to PNG.  Normally there is no
copyright in that data (at least I've yet to see a camera that allows
copyright to be specified, though it would certainly be a Good Thing.)
