Goals and Desired Outcome: Finding Creative Commons licensed content is '''at least''' as important as applying a license to it. During [[Summer of Code 2007]] Jason worked on [http://labs.creativecommons.org/2007/06/12/indexing-license-metadata-in-tracker-week-1/ integrating license indexing] in [[Tracker]]. Part of his work (along with intern [http://creativecommons.org/about/people/alumni#80 Scott]) became [[liblicense]]. This challenge can have many successful implementations; all should have the following characteristics: * index embedded license metadata using [[liblicense]] * allow searching by license characteristic (i.e., whether a work allows derivative works, etc) * display license information in search results * (preferably) look for [[Web Statement|verification metadata]] and provide some indicator of whether the license can be verified Possible targets for integration include: * [[Beagle]] * [http://developer.apple.com/macosx/spotlight.html Spotlight] (see the [http://yergler.net/projects/cc-spotlight/ CC license extractor] for a possible starting point, keeping in mind that it hasn't been touched in recent years) * See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines#Desktop_search_engines list of desktop search engines] for other targets.
