For all images I hand out, I try to exercise special care to scrub all
unnecessary metadata, i.e., delete really everything not really
needed.  I forget this most of the time.  To be consistent, you'll
need to script this.

It's a good thing that darktable is able to add this data, in case you
might need it.  But it also is a path for information to leak out, and
the "normal" user might not know it.  For commercial use, I'd be
especially careful: There have been famous cases of journalists giving
away the location of a source through metadata in a photograph.
