Q: 

customize Finder 'get info' window?

+3  A: 

There is no official way to do this, and any unofficial way will be rathe difficult since Finder is a Carbon application (no dynamic objects to hijack). Additionally, the Finder has been completely rewritten for Snow Leopard, so any hack you implemented now would stop working.

A: 

But font files often have a copyright notice in a copyright panel. How do they do this?

The information in More Information and some of the information in General comes from Spotlight metadata indexers. In this case, the font indexer sets the kMDItemCopyright attribute item using information in the font file. (The Version: field comes from the kMDItemVersion metadata attribute and the Full name: field comes from the com_apple_ats_name_full attribute, as can be seen with the mdls command.)
