If you mean Google the search engine, then they've probably just pulled it from another website which you'll need to investigate. For examples of what is considered public domain, check out Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:PD.For examples of what is considered fair use, check out Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Fairuse.

The primary reason for the need to have this information with the pictures is to protect the rights of those who created them. So when choosing the appropriate copyright, think about who owns the picture and go from there.
