An ''[[XMP]] Sidecar File'' is a file containing serialized metadata related to a document.  Sub-optimal for obvious reasons, these are used by tools, including [[liblicense]], when the file format does not support direct embedding.
  
It is impractical to embed metadata in some file formats, so we need a specification for a "companion" metadata file that would define license and other metadata information.
