The simplest way is to add a chunk of HTML to the page, and then
position it absolutely over the map:

<div id="labs">
  From <a href="http://labs.metacarta.com/">MetaCarta Labs</a>.
</div>

   #labs {
     position:absolute;
     bottom:15px;
     left:7px;
     font-size:smaller;
     z-index: 5000;
    }    

(From http://labs.metacarta.com/wms-c/tilecache-1.3.tar.gz/index.html.) 

If you only want a single copyright line, this is probably good enough.
If you need something that changes every time your viewing area changes,
you'll need something more complex. If that is the case, you can reply
and we can investigate further.
