This copyright applies to the RDF Site Summary 1.0 Image Module Specification and accompanying documentation and does not extend to the RSS Module's format itself.
The mod_image module supports the syndication of additional image information on top of the channel image information provided with the default RSS 1.0. This includes the addition of favicons (which are supported on Konqueror, Mozilla, and Internet Explorer) and images for RSS items.
User agents are able to use the image information to provide an enhanced user interface. The following image is an example of the Kuro5hin RSS feed with additional favicon and item imaged added.
<!--
rdf:about (required)
attribute points to the image
rdf:resource (optional)
link to this item. It should generally have the same media type as the
RSS link. One can link to a permalink for this item of an HTML file
which contains more items related to the current item.

Provides a favicon for this RSS channel or item. A favicon is a fixed size icon that can be used within user interfaces such as tree controls, bookmark entries, etc.

<image:favicon image:size="small"
rdf:about="http://www.example.org/item.png">

This is an example of an RSS channel publishing favicons and item images.

<description>
A good friend of mine was recently involved in a fairly nasty
accident while driving along a highway in her Honda Accord. She was
struck from behind by an SUV, spinning her out of control, leaving
her car lying horizontal in traffic. She was hit again by a pickup
truck, throwing her car into the median. Moments later, a small
convertible hit the pickup as it careened out of control across the
road. She escaped serious injury, as luckily did everyone else
involved in the accident. But something changed in my friend that
day, she was afraid to get back behind the wheel of a car and go
back onto the road. Afraid, until she joined the new "Arms Race":
SUVs in America.
