When a work is in the public domain, it is free for use by anyone for any purpose without restriction under copyright law. Public domain is the purest form of open/free, since no one owns or controls the material in any way.

Works that are in the public domain in one legal jurisdiction are not necessarily in the public domain worldwide. Copyright laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, both in duration of protection and what constitutes copyrightable subject matter. For example, [http://www.usa.gov/copyright.shtml a US Government work] --[http://seoexpertglobal.com/ -] [http://homesmarket.co.uk/ here] clearly in the public domain in the United States -- may or may not be free of copyright restrictions and in the public domain in other jurisdictions. At present, one of the only ways to be certain that a particular work is in the public domain worldwide is to see if the copyright holder has dedicated all rights to the work to the public domain by using [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0 CCO][http://wsoreview.com/ WSO].

Creative Commons licenses do not affect the status of a work that is in the public domain under applicable law, because our licenses only apply to works that are protected by copyright. For more information, see [[Before Licensing| our Licensing Guide]] to what you should know before you license a work using CC licenses.

Find out more about [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain CC's public domain tools], and learn more about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain the public domain].

== When does a work enter the public domain? ==

This varies by country. To see when a work in the [[United States]] enters the public domain, see [http://www.copyright.gov/pr/pdomain.html copyright.gov's public domain page].

Cornell University has also provided a [http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/public_domain/ handy table about copyright term and the public domain] in the United States.

== Creative Commons public domain tools ==

* [[CC0]] (occasionally written as CC Zero) is a public domain dedication that allows copyright holders to place works in the public domain to the extent legally possible, worldwide.
* CC's [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/ Public Domain Mark] allows anyone to mark a work that is already free of copyright restrictions around the world.

See http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain for more information on CC's public domain tools.

Public domain content in practice is any content without copyright. It may be deliberately freed from restrictions by the copyright owner, or the copyright may lapse after a certain time.

The legal details in practice vary between countries. More information about public domain can be found at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain Wikipedia's article on the public domain].

== Appropedia's Public Domain Search ==

[http://www.appropedia.org/Appropedia%27s_Public_Domain_Search Appropedia's Public Domain Search] was started in late 2007 when it was discovered there was no effective public domain search available. This operates on a completely different method to searches using the Creative Commons marks. It uses a manually maintained index of sites known to be public domain - thus it is does not yield 100% public domain results, and content must be checked to confirm public domain status. Reliability is expected to improve, and feedback by users is encouraged.

As CC public domain tools become widely used, searches based on the CC marks would be expected to a take over from Appropedia's Public Domain Search.

GFDL versus CC-by-sa

2012-03-07T04:18:32Z

Chriswaterguy: /* See also */ What, no interwiki linking? Fixed link.

The [[GNU Free Documentation License]] (GFDL or GNU FDL) was made with the main purpose of being used for softare documentation. [[CC-by-sa]] is intended for general sharing of "cultural works". The differences are quite technical, and the key principles are identical. The main difference is:

* Attribution - any copy of a work licensed under the GFDL must include a full copy of the license. That's not a big burden in software, but if someone is printing off a GFDL document, they are legally obliged to include a license printout which may be as long as the document. The CC-by-sa is much simpler, requiring attribution as requested by the source, which typically is the source's name (e.g. "Practical Action," "Appropedia" or "Jodie Smith"), perhaps a title, and a link.

Some advantages of CC-by-sa are:

* CC's human readable versions do a fair job of representing the conditions of use, in much clearer terms. Compare the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ CC-by-sa] (human readable version) with the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt GFDL].
* CC-by-sa has become the de facto license for web use, for those wanting similar conditions to the GFDL - used by Wikipedia and many other wikis, available as an option for Flickr and other content sharing sites. It's recognizable, and compatible with many other sites.

Note that the FSF, who manage the GFDL, did give permission during a certain window of time for wiki sites to relicense their content from GFDL to CC-by-sa. Wikipedia and Appropedia did this, among others. The FSF recognized that CC-by-sa gives a greater flexibility that is needed for wikis in particular (and some would say, for content sharing in general).

If you want to go with CC, there are other questions that would be considered, but it's probably overcomplicating things. But in the interests of thoroughness.

* Do you want to be even more open and use CC-by, without the "Share Alike" requirement? Possibly not, if you want to guarantee that you are able to incorporate modifications and additions by other people, when you want to; also, you can make that decision at any time later without affecting any of the CC-by-sa users of your content.
* Do you want to dual-license, letting people know they can use under the terms of either CC-by-sa or GFDL? Probably not, as it breaks your ability to use other people's work. I.e. If you want to incorporate a modification or addition done under only one license, you can't (in a strict legal sense) then take it and publish again under your dual license.

GFDL versus CC-by-sa

Chriswaterguy: Based on an email I just sent - save others having to make the same arguments.

User talk:Akozak

Chriswaterguy: /* email */ No problem

Thanks for your work on the CClearn pages; you might make yourself a [[User:Akozak|user page]] with a bit of information about who you are, so people can connect this account to any other efforts you've done elsewhere. You can see mine (linked to my name) as a (rather simple) model. Thanks! [[User:JesseWeinstein|JesseWeinstein]] 03:02, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== Add languages to [[ODEPO]] ==

Hi Akozak, if you could you add the following at the top of page [[ODEPO]]:
<pre>
{{Translations:
{{ODEPO/Translations}}
}}
</pre>
Then create the new page [[ODEPO/Translations]] with contents:
<pre>
articles=Pt:ODEPO
</pre>
and leave that new page unprotected (the protection of page ODEPO cannot be cascading), then translators could add their translated pages without a need to request the addition to admins every time. If this seems workable, could you please also add something similar to:
* [[OER Resources]]
** [[OER Resources/Translations]] Contents: <code>articles=Pt:Recursos Sobre OER <s>Pt:Recursos OER</s></code>
* [[Creative Commons and Open Educational Resources]]
** [[Creative Commons and Open Educational Resources/Translations]] Contents: <code>articles=Pt:A Creative Commons e os Recursos Educativos Abertos</code>
These two will become red-linked, but I'll work on them next. Let me know. Thanks. [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 15:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
::The thing about putting it in the Protected template, is that the languages will then appear at the bottom of the page, next to the message about protection. Well, we should really have it in the same place in all pages. I've been putting it at the top of all pages, following the apparent existing convention. Of course, we could change all of them to the bottom. We could also move the call to <code><nowiki>{{Protected}}</nowiki></code> to the top of the page. But it would be important for usability to have it always in the same position of all pages. What do you think? [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 02:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

::(Later edit) Hmm, I made a mistake above. It should read:
::<tt><nowiki>{{Translations|</nowiki></tt>
::<tt><nowiki>  articles={{:ODEPO/Translations}}</nowiki></tt>
::<tt><nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
::and then the contents of the other page are just: <code>Pt:ODEPO</code>. That should work. Sorry about that. [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 03:36, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

::: I don't think I want to put it at the top of the database landing pages for design reasons (I'm not currently very happy with the Translations template design) since I spend quite a bit of time tweaking those layouts. But maybe it makes sense for "content" pages that are quite long.

::: In any case, it isn't working. I've added <nowiki>{{Translations|{{:{{PAGENAME}}/Translations}}}}</nowiki> to ODEPO and it still gets put into Untranslated even though there is content on the sub-page adding it to a language. I'll probably need to dig in to the Translations template to figure it out.

::::For it to work, "<code>articles=</code>" needs to be moved from the subpage to the ODEPO page (check my message three paragraphs above). [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 22:33, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

::::Akozak, there's one more page which is protected and needs the translations template. So, the current list is:
::::* [[OER]] Translation: [[Pt:OER]]
::::* [[OER Resources]] Translation: [[Pt:Recursos Sobre OER]]
::::* [[ODEPO]] Translation: [[Pt:ODEPO]]
::::* [[Creative Commons and Open Educational Resources]] Translation: [[Pt:A Creative Commons e os Recursos Educativos Abertos]]
::::Thanks [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 00:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

::::: Done! Each of those pages has a /Translations page now. Thanks for all your work and thanks for reporting the issue. [[User:Akozak|Akozak]] 21:23, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Me again. Could we do the same to [[FFAQ]]? [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 21:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC) 
By the way, the page also needs correction of two instances of the typo "in tact". [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 00:58, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

== Placement of translations ==

Hi Akozak, me bothering you again. Sorry about this, but I have the feeling that I'm placing the translations template where you don't want it to be. Initially I was placing it at the bottom of pages, but then found a few instances where it already was at the top. So, I moved it to the top of all pages. Then you placed it within another template where it comes somewhere in the middle of the page but, lately, I get the feeling you'd prefer it at the bottom. So, here I am :)

I can place it wherever it is preferred, no problem at all. I'd just ask you one thing: having some experience of this, CC Wiki would gain in usability, from it being always at the same place of all pages. This is because these MediaWiki wikis are always faking to be multilingual, but they are nothing of the sort; if your language is not English, you're always shifting between English and non-English pages. For example, clicking the logo always takes you to the English main page, irrespective of your language.

So, before a user even enters a page, they should know where in that page they will be able to find the translation links. The template can be either at the top or bottom (although at the top, avoids having to scroll the page), as long as it's always in the same place of all pages. Would you agree with this?

If you agree, let me know, top or bottom, and I'll move it there in all pages. If you don't, let me know how to proceed. [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 02:10, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

: Yes, I apologize for the inconsistency. I'm rather picky when it comes to the layout of pages, and unlike Wikipedia or other wikis, we use MediaWiki for a variety of uses. So it isn't easy for us to adopt a standard page layout.

: I agree we should try to be consistent, so for now let's go with the top of the page for most pages and for just a few "landing pages" (such as OER, Translate, the Main Page) we leave it at the bottom. Does that sounds sane?

: Thanks for your work, I really do appreciate it. Perhaps you can help me revisit this question soon when we start discussing a re-skin of the wiki in Vector. [[User:Akozak|Akozak]] 17:13, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

::That sounds sane and workable. And yes, glad to revisit it for Vector.

::Incidentally, you may have also noticed I used the template not just for articles in the main namespace, but for everything else translated (templates, categories, images). I later figured out that properties aren't enabled for those other namespaces. The effect is one only: on the ''translated'' pages of those other namespaces, we only get a link to the English page; no links to the other translated pages, because the ''Has translations:'' property of the English page doesn't work. What are your thoughts on this, if any? Would it cause any problems if properties were enabled for all (at least, all the standard) namespaces? Not something where you want to spend energy for now?

::Thanks. [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 19:08, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

::: This is a fairly complex issue which I've thought about before. I'll put it in my queue to look at and get back to you. [[User:Akozak|Akozak]] 20:44, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

== Missed one ==

: Thank you! [[User:Akozak|Akozak]] 16:52, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

== FAQ ==
Yes, you guessed it, me again. The [[FAQ]] page needs the following:
* Move translation articles to [[FFAQ/Translation]].
* Change all instances of "html" to "HTML".
* On [[Frequently Asked Questions#How do I apply a Creative Commons® license to my work?]], consider replacing the <tt>®</tt> by <tt><nowiki>®</nowiki></tt>.
* In the same question, the sentence "These buttons are designed to act as a notice to people who come in contact with your work that your work is licensed under the applicable Creative Commons license." suggests to novice users that the Public Domain Certification is a license, which it is not. I suggest ending it with " or is in the public domain.".
* On [[Frequently Asked Questions#Can I apply a Creative Commons license to an offline work?]], points (a) and (b) got somehow mixed up, and (b) appears in the middle of (a). It needs a full review.
* On [[Frequently Asked Questions#How does a Creative Commons license operate?]], the target page of link "select your license at our ‘Choose License’ page" is called "License Your Work".
* On [[Frequently Asked Questions#Will Creative Commons help me enforce my license?]] there should be a final sentence directing readers to [[FFAQ#Can CC give legal advice about its licenses or help with CC license enforcement?]] which has more information about suitable lawyers. The final sentence of the question following it, seems perfect.
Thanks. [[User:Hamilton Abreu|Hamilton Abreu]] 00:19, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

: I've made some of these changes, but others I didn't because we're planning to roll out a new FAQ soon. Thanks for the edits and suggestions! Very helpful.[[User:Akozak|Akozak]] 22:07, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Chriswaterguy: /* Why is this protected? */ If it's felt necessary to have a protected and "approved" version... (steps)

Hi,

Just noticed what looks like a small spelling mistake in the CC0 1.0 Universal legal code. In section 4b, when the Affirmer disclaims warranty concerning “the present or absence of errors”, I think ‘present’ should be ‘presence’.

Not likely to cause confusion, but thought you might like to know for the next revision.

If this is not the right place, please let me know or pass on this report.

Thanks,
[[User:J N|J N]] 16:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

== Why is this protected? ==

This page needs work - if I read as far as the point where an actual definition is given, my eyes glaze over before I get there - maybe because IANAL :-). That's not to ignore the good work and good info here - it's just that I'd like to see users allowed to add add an intro and edit for clarity... but they can't as it's protected.

For now I'm adding [[CC0]] as a separate page (was a redirect to here) but I'd suggest that protection be removed on this page - it's a wiki after all, so a user in good standing should be able to edit any page, right?

If it's felt necessary to have a protected and "approved" version, then do that - but have an open edit version as well. The "Pending changes" tool on Wikipedia would make this easy, but the same thing can be done in a cruder manual way, without that. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 11:23, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

CC0

2010-10-03T10:52:37Z

Chriswaterguy: Can act as a license; thus, & for convenience in navigation, adding the License category.

'''CC0''' is the "no rights reserved" in Creative Commons licensing - it effectively means releasing your work as [[public domain]].

CC0 is a single purpose tool, designed to take on the dedication function of the former [[Public Domain Dedication and Certification]].

How effectively this works may depend on your legal regime, but the tool is intended to effectively release rights even in legal contexts where this is difficult.

Note that CC0 itself is not intended as a [[license]], but as a [[waiver]]. However if the waiver is not effective for any reason, then it acts as an unconditional, irrevocable, non exclusive, royalty free license to use the work for any purpose.

For detailed information see [[CC0 FAQ]].

{{Grant Application
|Project Title=Unlocking health information
|applicants=UK Consortium on AIDS & International Development (AIDSPortal Initiative), Appropedia
|contact person=Robert Worthington, Chris Watkins
|coordinator=Robert Worthington, Chris Watkins
|start date=2010/09/15
|end date=2011/04/15
|Affiliation=None
|Mainurl=www.aidsportal.org, www.aidsconsortium.org.uk, www.appropedia.org
|Affiliated=No
|description=This project will help unlock lifesaving health and development information, making it more accessible under Creative Commons licenses. Usage and awareness of Creative Commons licenses is low among the health and international development sector, with few organisations using the Creative Commons mark on their content. The argument for open access licensing is compelling - (i) Increasing access to health information will help save lives and (ii) public funds are often used to pay for the development of health information. This project will use existing relationships with NGOs, donors, health information managers and academics to make this argument, with the aim of changing information licensing practice in the health and development sector.
|output=The project will have two main outputs. (i) A new community of practice on health information and licensing that engages interested practitioners via an eForum. (ii) At least 3 large NGOs, 1 donor, 1 academic institution and 2 health information managers agree to use Creative Commons licensing for their content.
|community=The project ultimately targets people in the developing world in need of health services. They will benefit from better informed health practitioners. Health practitioners are indirectly targeted. They will benefit from access to more information from more sources. The project directly targets those that produce and manage health information. They will benefit from guidance on licensing, increased impact of information they produce and (in case of those managing health information databases) the opportunity to combine and mashup information from different sources.
|community relationship=AIDSPortal has strong links with organisations in the HIV and AIDS sector. Most of these organisations work in the broader health and development sector. AIDSPortal is well known for it's role as an information facilitator. Many of the organisations that we plan to target already have strong relationships with AIDSPortal and are receptive to suggestions on ways of improving information management. AIDSPortal has managed a number of similar projects, working to facilitate better management of health information.

Appropedia has links and experience with organizations in the international development and public health sector, through its own work and through the contacts of its directors and community (including Andrew Lamb, director of the Appropedia Foundation and CEO of Engineers Without Borders UK). It also has strong links with academia, and one of Appropedia's wiki admins has professional experience in HIV specialty care and health information technology. Appropedia has actively advocated for Creative Commons licensing (specifically CC-BY and CC-BY-SA) within the international development and sustainability spheres, and successfully prompted several informative sites to move to one of these licenses.
|measurement=The full impact of this project may not be apparent for some time. We will track impact over the project timeline by recording number of NGOs, academic institutions, donors and health information managers agreeing to use Creative Commons licenses for their content. We will also estimate the number of new publications or other content made available as a result of these actions. We will track potential impact using process indicators like number of individuals contacted, number of meetings held and number of practitioners signed up to the eForum.
|participants=The potential scope of the project is enormous. To limit this, we will focus primarily on organisations based in the UK and USA, where AIDSPortal and Appropedia have good contacts. Within these countries we will focus on organisations that produce or fund the production of the following types of information:

• Publications focusing on health policy or practice (50 NGOs will be targeted)

• Peer reviewed or other types of academic research (10 academic institutions will be targeted)

• Metadata for health information databases (5 health information managers will be targeted)

• Funders of health information (5 donors will be targeted)

The easy-access eForum will support communication among a community of practice. This will provide a space for ongoing dialogue around these issues. Through the dedicated blog, as well as our existing blogs, newsletters, other social media, and the social media of friendly organizations, we will explain and promote the project, to potentially attract institutions in addition to those targeted.
|impact=We expect the project to result in at least 3 large NGOs, 1 donor, 1 academic institution and 2 health information managers agreeing to use Creative Commons licensing for their content. It will also result in a new community of practice in the health sector to advance this mission.
|tech needs=AIDSPortal will set up an eForum and a blog to support project communications. Appropedia will provide expertise on licensing. We will also seek technical inputs from others to gather evidence and develop a business case for moving to Creative Commons content licensing.
|challenges=Finding the right person to engage with within a large organisation is often challenging. AIDSPortal already has close linkages with over 100 NGOs in the UK and the USA. This should reduce the time needed to find and contact the relevant person. In some cases the linkage with communications teams are already well established.

Making a strong case for Creative Commons licensing will take time, but Appropedia has already tailored a case for the aid and development community, which can provide a base for this project.

For donors in particular, there are significant costs associated with open access publishing. Currently donor funded research is typically published in a paid access journal. If donors request that researchers they fund publish under open access licenses, they will need to allow for the additional cost in their funding agreements. A strong business case will be needed to show the benefit of this approach. The combined weight of AIDSPortal's and Appropedia's names in this field will strengthen our case.

Many of the target organisations are large and have established practices. Even with internal support, change may be slow. We have set targets accordingly.
|sustainability=This proposal provides a template for a larger project. Establishing a strong community of practice will help us gauge interest in expanding the scope further. Even if there is no interest in expanding the project, the support networks and eForum will remain, AIDSPortal and Appropedia will always be advocates for open licensing in health information, and changes achieved in practice should be sustained. Some additional ideas for an expanded scope:

* Target additional countries. The project will initially target only two countries, both of which are English speaking. Other countries could be included.
* Establishing a health content registry. Creative commons licensing is only one component of making content more accessible. Ideally health information should be available in ways that enable health information providers to combine data sources (ie create mashups) and aggragate information from different sources. For this to be possible we will also need to collect information on:

::1. What data is available?,
::2. Where it is held?
::3. What format it is in?
::4. What kind of data is it?
::5. What does it cover?
::6. What the licensing conditions are for that data?

A health content registry would provide a space to share this information.
|scalability=This is potentially a large project. We have set modest targets to begin with, as the funds available from this grant are limited. The process and outcomes are applicable and replicable in other sectors. We will share experiences with anyone interested in doing this. The previous section discussed other ideas for scaling the project.
|resource needs=We may need help gathering evidence to develop a business case, including examples of licensing and outcomes that shed light on the case for open licensed health information.
|communication=AIDSPortal manages the website www.aidsportal.org to facilitate communication with over 30,000 HIV and health practitioners. AIDSPortal also works closely to build the communication capacity of other health networks, enhancing their ability to communicate with their members.

Appropedia communicates with its community through its wiki talk pages, automatic page-change updates, discussion lists, blogs and social media. When engaging with partners in helping them apply open licenses, Twitter, email and Skype have been used. Topic-based newsletters are currently being set up are expected to be established before the project would start.

{|
|[[Image:3-typepad.gif]]
|'''Step three: Create a new Typelist'''

You'll want to create a new Typelist to hold the Creative Commons license code. Log into Typepad, then click on the Typelists tab, and create a new Typelist called CC or Creative Commons, and make it a Link type of list.
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-typepad.gif]]
|'''Step four: Paste code into your new Typelist''

Click "New Item" to add a Typelist item, and paste your license code into the "Notes" area and save the item.

====Adding a license to LiveJournal====

(Follow the first two steps above to choose a license and copy the code)

# While logged in, go to the [http://www.livejournal.com/ LiveJournal homepage] and look at the header.
* If it's a personal blog, choose "Journal" then "Journal style".
* If it's a community, choose "Communities" then "Manage," and for the community you want to mark, click "[Journal Style]" on the right.
# On the right, under "(blog name)'s current theme", click "Customize your theme".
# Click Sidebar and paste the HTML code into the relevant box. (Depending on the theme, you may need to click "sidebar" there may be one or many boxes, and you may need to click "Free Text Sidebox" to make them visible.)

Save and see how it looks.

Depending on the options you've chosen, this may look a bit bulky or messy - you may want to add <nowiki> </nowiki> tags to the text under the box.

Depending on the theme you are using, you may be able to add the mark elsewhere, e.g. in a footer (?).

Another option is to edit the CSS directly, if you know how to do this. Instead of clicking "Sidebar", click "Custom CSS" and go from there. LiveJournal's way of selectively presenting the CSS {?) differs from other blog platforms, so this can be confusing if you're not used to it. Make a copy of the previous version of the CSS into a text file, and note the settings, in case something goes wrong and you need to change it back.

==Audio==

===Specific Sites===

====Internet Archive====

You can quickly and easily publish your audio files to the Internet Archive by visiting [http://www.archive.org/create/ http://www.archive.org/create/], which includes a license selection step.

For large files (>500MB), you may wish to use our CC Publisher application. CC Publisher is a tool that does two things: it will help you tag your audio files with information about your license and it allows you to upload Creative Commons-licensed audio and video works to the [http://archive.org/ Internet Archive] for free hosting.

CC Publisher is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. Download links and installation instructions can be found on the [[CcPublisher|CC Publisher]] page.

'''Using CC Publisher'''
{|
|[[Image:1-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step one: Dragging your songs into CC Publisher'''

Start the CC Publisher application and hit Next on the introductory screen. The process starts by adding your files to be tagged/uploaded. You can use the browse function to find the files, or simply drag and drop as many files that you would like to license (all with the same license) and upload (all into the same collection at Internet Archive).
|}

{|
|[[Image:2-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step two: Adding information about your works'''

The next screen will ask for information about your recording or video, which will help others find it at the archive and build up the metadata in your audio files.
|}

{|
|[[Image:3-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step three: Choose your license'''

CC Publisher lets you choose one of several license types and the options for each.
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step four: Logging into the Internet Archive'''

|}

{|
|[[Image:5-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step five: Start your upload to the Archive'''

The final step is to upload your works to the Internet Archive. Depending on your connection and the size of files you are uploading, this step can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours.
|}

{|
|[[Image:6-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step six: All done!'''

When your upload is complete, the Publisher application will furnish you with a URL that should be live within 24 hours at the Archive.

HOWTO Publish

2010-02-28T07:08:27Z

Chriswaterguy: /* Adding a license to Blogger */ add "blogspot", and update/correct (?) instructions

[[Category:HOWTO]]
[[Category:Publishing]]

==Audio==

===Specific Sites===

====Internet Archive====

You can quickly and easily publish your audio files to the Internet Archive by visiting [http://www.archive.org/create/ http://www.archive.org/create/], which includes a license selection step.

For large files (>500MB), you may wish to use our CC Publisher application. CC Publisher is a tool that does two things: it will help you tag your audio files with information about your license and it allows you to upload Creative Commons-licensed audio and video works to the [http://archive.org/ Internet Archive] for free hosting.

CC Publisher is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. Download links and installation instructions can be found on the [[CcPublisher|CC Publisher]] page.

'''Using CC Publisher'''
{|
|[[Image:1-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step one: Dragging your songs into CC Publisher'''

Start the CC Publisher application and hit Next on the introductory screen. The process starts by adding your files to be tagged/uploaded. You can use the browse function to find the files, or simply drag and drop as many files that you would like to license (all with the same license) and upload (all into the same collection at Internet Archive).
|}

{|
|[[Image:2-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step two: Adding information about your works'''

The next screen will ask for information about your recording or video, which will help others find it at the archive and build up the metadata in your audio files.
|}

{|
|[[Image:3-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step three: Choose your license'''

CC Publisher lets you choose one of several license types and the options for each.
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step four: Logging into the Internet Archive'''

To upload your works to the Internet Archive, you'll need an account there to associate your files with. If you don't have an account there, there is a handy button within CC Publisher that will launch a web browser and allow you to join it.
|}

{|
|[[Image:5-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step five: Start your upload to the Archive'''

The final step is to upload your works to the Internet Archive. Depending on your connection and the size of files you are uploading, this step can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours.
|}

{|
|[[Image:6-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step six: All done!'''

When your upload is complete, the Publisher application will furnish you with a URL that should be live within 24 hours at the Archive.
|}

====Soundclick====

{|
|[[Image:1-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step one: Sign up at SoundClick'''

[http://www.soundclick.com/ SoundClick] is a music website that features both signed and unsigned bands, offering unlimited storage for your band's music. The easiest way to post music online with a Creative Commons license is to let SoundClick handle all the hosting, posting, and licensing for you. Start by signing up a new (free) account at SoundClick.

Open license

2010-02-23T11:59:50Z

Chriswaterguy: based on my own work at http://www.appropedia.org/Open_licenses

An '''open license''' or '''free license''' (licence in Commonwealth English) is the legal statement that allows [[free content]] and [[free software]] to be "free". This means "free" as in "freedom of speech" or "free to use it how you want". See the [http://freedomdefined.org/Definition Freedom Defined] wiki for more information.

The exact meaning may vary, but a common idea of an open license is one that requires [[attribution]] but otherwise lets people use the content in any way, including commercially, only requiring them to share their modifications under the same license ([[copyleft]]/[[ShareAlike]]). This corresponds to [[CC-BY-SA]] or [[GFDL]].

== Conditions ==
In more detail, the main point of an open license is to tell people that they are free to use the content, under relatively few conditions:
* The most common condition is [[attribution]] - all CC licenses contain this. The [[public domain]] tools [[CC0]] (CC Zero) and [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain public domain certification] do not, but they are declarations and not licenses.
* The next most common condition is [[Share Alike]] - that you will share, as long as the final product is also shared in the same way.

== Non-commercial licenses - not "free" ==

Another popular clause is the [[non-commercial clause]] (NC in [[Creative Commons]] licenses).

However, content with this license is not considered "free" by Freedom Defined (the free cultural works definition), or the [http://opendefinition.org/ Open Knowledge Definition] and is not able to be used in a site such as Appropedia which uses a license allowing commercial use.

This may be a wise choice for personal photos, or in some cases for creative work that you may wish to make a profit from.

== List of licenses ==
There are many free licenses, but the most common are:
* [[GFDL]]
* [[CC-BY-SA]] - Creative Commons, By Attribution, Share Alike
* [[CC-BY]] - Creative Commons, By Attribution.
* [[Public domain]] - not actually a license, this is the absence of any copyrights, license, or restriction of any kind.

(See also the [http://opendefinition.org/licenses list of licenses at opendefinition.org].)

* [[CC:Attribution]]

Open or free statement

2010-02-23T11:45:23Z

Chriswaterguy: summarize & link

Certain sites call themselves open, free, or libre (or variations thereof).

It is a different issue of whether they actually are open, or how open, since there are various ways the term is used. The actual level of openness (whether the resource is free for the user to reproduce, change, build upon, use commercially or distribute) is dependent on how the material is licensed.

HOWTO Publish

2010-01-30T01:09:28Z

Chriswaterguy: /* Blog */ '''Adding a license to your WordPress Weblog''': (just a link for now. I'm inclined to have them on separate pages anyway.)

[[Category:HOWTO]]
[[Category:Publishing]]

==Audio==

===Specific Sites===

====Internet Archive====

You can quickly and easily publish your audio files to the Internet Archive by visiting [http://www.archive.org/create/ http://www.archive.org/create/], which includes a license selection step.

For large files (>500MB), you may wish to use our CC Publisher application. CC Publisher is a tool that does two things: it will help you tag your audio files with information about your license and it allows you to upload Creative Commons-licensed audio and video works to the [http://archive.org/ Internet Archive] for free hosting.

CC Publisher is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. Download links and installation instructions can be found on the [[CcPublisher|CC Publisher]] page.

'''Using CC Publisher'''
{|
|[[Image:1-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step one: Dragging your songs into CC Publisher'''

Start the CC Publisher application and hit Next on the introductory screen. The process starts by adding your files to be tagged/uploaded. You can use the browse function to find the files, or simply drag and drop as many files that you would like to license (all with the same license) and upload (all into the same collection at Internet Archive).
|}

{|
|[[Image:2-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step two: Adding information about your works'''

The next screen will ask for information about your recording or video, which will help others find it at the archive and build up the metadata in your audio files.
|}

{|
|[[Image:3-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step three: Choose your license'''

CC Publisher lets you choose one of several license types and the options for each.
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step four: Logging into the Internet Archive'''

To upload your works to the Internet Archive, you'll need an account there to associate your files with. If you don't have an account there, there is a handy button within CC Publisher that will launch a web browser and allow you to join it.
|}

{|
|[[Image:5-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step five: Start your upload to the Archive'''

The final step is to upload your works to the Internet Archive. Depending on your connection and the size of files you are uploading, this step can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours.
|}

{|
|[[Image:6-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step six: All done!'''

When your upload is complete, the Publisher application will furnish you with a URL that should be live within 24 hours at the Archive.
|}

====Soundclick====

{|
|[[Image:1-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step one: Sign up at SoundClick'''

[http://www.soundclick.com/ SoundClick] is a music website that features both signed and unsigned bands, offering unlimited storage for your band's music. The easiest way to post music online with a Creative Commons license is to let SoundClick handle all the hosting, posting, and licensing for you. Start by signing up a new (free) account at SoundClick.

[https://www.soundclick.com/community/NewSignup.cfm?Band=Yes Sign up at SoundClick here]
|}

{|
|[[Image:2-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step two: Add information about your band'''

SoundClick offers plenty of ways for you to add additional information about your music. Describing your band and the type of music you play will help visitors find your music.
|}

{|
|[[Image:3-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step three: Upload your song to Soundclick'''

After adding information about your song, upload it to SoundClick.
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step four: Choose your license at SoundClick'''

The last step is to apply a license for your uploaded song. Be sure to click the "Yes" option under the first question, to enable the license options for your song.
|}

{|
|[[Image:5-soundclick.gif]]
|'''View your license at SoundClick'''

Once your song has been uploaded and licensed, go to your SoundClick music page, and you should see a "license" link for each song uploaded, which should link to the license you chose.
|}

====Morpheus====

[http://morpheus.com/ Morpheus] is a popular windows P2P file-sharing application with support for locating and displaying Creative Commons licenses on audio files. The following steps describe the process to distributing your audio on the Morpheus network.

{|
|[[Image:1-morpheus.gif]]
|'''Step one: Use CC Publisher to add metadata to your music'''

The first step to getting your music recognized by Morpheus is to embed your license into your songs. Follow our tutorial on using CC Publisher. When you're done either publishing your song to the Internet Archive or your own website, your audio file will have the proper embedded metadata.

[http://creativecommons.org/tools/ccpublisher View our CC Publisher tutorial]
|}

{|
|[[Image:2-morpheus.gif]]
|'''Step two: Put your song into Morpheus' Downloads directory'''

Once you have used CC Publisher, your audio file should have extra metadata embedded. Simply copy the file to your Downloads directory within Morpheus to begin sharing it. Others using the Morpheus client should be able to see your song and search for it.
|}

'''Finding Creative Commons licensed audio on Morpheus'''

{|
|[[Image:3-morpheus.gif]]
|'''Search for licensed music at Morpheus'''

You can search for licensed songs at Morpheus by putting "cc:sampling" into the search field (search for other licenses via "cc:sharing" is coming soon).
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-morpheus.gif]]
|'''Licenses in Search Results'''

You should see Creative Commons license information in your search results.
|}

{|
|[[Image:5-morpheus.gif]]
|'''View license information in your results'''

Mousing over individual results will also display any Creative Commons license information. When downloading licensed songs, you may want to verify the files with [http://creativecommons.org/tools/cclookup CC Lookup].

[http://creativecommons.org/tools/cclookup View our CC Lookup tutorial]
|}

Chriswaterguy:

:''This describes the CC-BY license. For general information on attribution of CC-licensed works, see the [[Attribution]] article.''

Under the '''Creative Commons Attribution''' license, commonly abbreviated as '''CC-BY''', you are free:

* to Share — to copy, distribute and transmit the work
* to Remix — to adapt the work

Under the following conditions:

* Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

== Details ==

See the human readable versions (with links to the full deed) at [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Attribution 3.0 Unported], or various other compatible versions for other jurisdictions and in other languages (''please add links'').

== What protections does the BY license condition provide?==

''Attribution mandatory unless you indicate otherwise''. First and foremost, CC BY requires that users keep intact all copyright notices on your work and provide, in a reasonable manner, your name (or the name of your organization) as the author, the title of the work, and the URL, if any, that you specify to be associated with the work. It is essential that you make it very clear how you wish to be attributed at the point of upload so that downstream users will know how to credit you properly. Further, under CC BY, you retain the right to request removal of attribution if you do not wish to be associated with a particular derivative of your work. Thus, if you become aware of your work being used in a derivative work or in any collection as permitted by the license, you have the absolute right to inform the creator of the derivative or collective work that you do not want to be identified as the author of the original work, and insist that your name be removed. This is an important layer of protection that many content producers find valuable and prevents them from being associated with works they believe are "lower quality" than the work they originally produced.

''No endorsement allowed.'' CC BY, just like all CC licenses, also contains a “non-endorsement” clause. Specifically, this clause states that users may only use the credit required for the purpose of attribution, and may not assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship, or endorsement by you, without your separate, express prior written permission. In plain English, this means the user is not allowed to use attribution to make it appear that you in any way support or approve of their uses or adaptations of your work. So, for example, if a downstream user of your work is somehow implying that you are endorsing their derivative work, whether in advertising on a website or otherwise, that could constitute a violation of the license.

''Your original remains unchanged''. Because CC BY permits adaptations, some people worry that the work they create will be changed for the worse or somehow "ruined" by downstream users. It is important to remember that when users adapt your work, they alter ''copies'' of your work, not the original. Your original work will remain intact, and indeed, the adaptations based upon it will point back to your original work, if you require it, so that other users have access to your "higher" quality original.

''Changes must be labelled''. Finally, CC BY requires users to take reasonable steps “to clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made to the original [w]ork.” This means that users who adapt your work must tell the world they have done so, thereby letting other users know what changes were made by someone other than you.

Chriswaterguy: /* What protections does the BY license condition provide? */ move this section (added by User:Lila Bailey) to Creative Commons Attribution

All of the 6 main Creative Commons licenses have Attribution as one of the requirements. As explained by the license deeds, to fulfill the requirements of Attribution you must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

Attribution is often expressed as '''BY''' when abbreviating license names.

Adding a CC mark to a WordPress blog

2009-11-09T13:25:31Z

Chriswaterguy: /* Method #1: Use a Widget */ clarify

Adding a Creative Commons mark ([[marking]]) allows people to easily see how your work is licensed, and allows search engines to index your page by license.

== Method #1: Use a Widget ==

* Step 1: In your dashboard, go to the menu item "Widgets", under "Appearance".
* Step 2: Find the widget labeled "Text", and drag it to your sidebar or footer. Location is entirely up to you. (yeah, that too!)
* Step 3: Paste the code provided by the license generator in the widget's text box, and click "Save".

This should now display the CC mark. You may style the blog as you wish. If on WordPress.com, you have to use inline styles, unless you have a paid subscription and can change all the CSS of your theme.

This works if your blog is on your own domain, (Does it work on Wordpress.com, or only with paid subscriptions?)

== Method #2 (more difficult) ==

Edit the theme's footer.php or sidebar.php file. Get your license button HTML from http://creativecommons.org/license and paste it into your footer.php (or sidebar.php or wherever you want it to appear).

This works if your blog is on your own domain, (Does it work on Wordpress.com, or only with paid subscriptions?)

== Method #3: Plugin ==

Use a plugin. This ''might'' be the easiest way, but has some potential for problems if the plugin breaks when you upgrade, or it clashes with another plugin. The widget above is usually a better option.

To do this, use the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/creative-commons-license-widget/ Creative Commons license widget]. (That page says it's only tested up to WordPress 2.5, but it seems to be working on [http://blogs.appropedia.org/ our version 2.71 blog] without problems. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 04:02, 16 May 2009 (UTC)) Note: it's easier to install from the admin interface (click Plugins, then Install) rather than downloading from the link given here.

This works if your blog is on your own domain, (or on Wordpress.com, or only with paid subscriptions?)

==Audio==

===Specific Sites===

====Internet Archive====

You can quickly and easily publish your audio files to the Internet Archive by visiting [http://www.archive.org/create/ http://www.archive.org/create/], which includes a license selection step.

For large files (>500MB), you may wish to use our CC Publisher application. CC Publisher is a tool that does two things: it will help you tag your audio files with information about your license and it allows you to upload Creative Commons-licensed audio and video works to the [http://archive.org/ Internet Archive] for free hosting.

CC Publisher is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. Download links and installation instructions can be found on the [[CcPublisher|CC Publisher]] page.

'''Using CC Publisher'''
{|
|[[Image:1-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step one: Dragging your songs into CC Publisher'''

Start the CC Publisher application and hit Next on the introductory screen. The process starts by adding your files to be tagged/uploaded. You can use the browse function to find the files, or simply drag and drop as many files that you would like to license (all with the same license) and upload (all into the same collection at Internet Archive).
|}

{|
|[[Image:2-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step two: Adding information about your works'''

The next screen will ask for information about your recording or video, which will help others find it at the archive and build up the metadata in your audio files.
|}

{|
|[[Image:3-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step three: Choose your license'''

CC Publisher lets you choose one of several license types and the options for each.
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step four: Logging into the Internet Archive'''

To upload your works to the Internet Archive, you'll need an account there to associate your files with. If you don't have an account there, there is a handy button within CC Publisher that will launch a web browser and allow you to join it.
|}

{|
|[[Image:5-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step five: Start your upload to the Archive'''

The final step is to upload your works to the Internet Archive. Depending on your connection and the size of files you are uploading, this step can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours.
|}

{|
|[[Image:6-ccpublisher.gif|frame]]
|'''Step six: All done!'''

When your upload is complete, the Publisher application will furnish you with a URL that should be live within 24 hours at the Archive.
|}

====Soundclick====

{|
|[[Image:1-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step one: Sign up at SoundClick'''

[http://www.soundclick.com/ SoundClick] is a music website that features both signed and unsigned bands, offering unlimited storage for your band's music. The easiest way to post music online with a Creative Commons license is to let SoundClick handle all the hosting, posting, and licensing for you. Start by signing up a new (free) account at SoundClick.

[https://www.soundclick.com/community/NewSignup.cfm?Band=Yes Sign up at SoundClick here]
|}

{|
|[[Image:2-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step two: Add information about your band'''

SoundClick offers plenty of ways for you to add additional information about your music. Describing your band and the type of music you play will help visitors find your music.
|}

{|
|[[Image:3-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step three: Upload your song to Soundclick'''

After adding information about your song, upload it to SoundClick.
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-soundclick.gif]]
|'''Step four: Choose your license at SoundClick'''

The last step is to apply a license for your uploaded song. Be sure to click the "Yes" option under the first question, to enable the license options for your song.
|}

{|
|[[Image:5-soundclick.gif]]
|'''View your license at SoundClick'''

Once your song has been uploaded and licensed, go to your SoundClick music page, and you should see a "license" link for each song uploaded, which should link to the license you chose.
|}

====Morpheus====

[http://morpheus.com/ Morpheus] is a popular windows P2P file-sharing application with support for locating and displaying Creative Commons licenses on audio files. The following steps describe the process to distributing your audio on the Morpheus network.

{|
|[[Image:1-morpheus.gif]]
|'''Step one: Use CC Publisher to add metadata to your music'''

The first step to getting your music recognized by Morpheus is to embed your license into your songs. Follow our tutorial on using CC Publisher. When you're done either publishing your song to the Internet Archive or your own website, your audio file will have the proper embedded metadata.

[http://creativecommons.org/tools/ccpublisher View our CC Publisher tutorial]
|}

{|
|[[Image:2-morpheus.gif]]
|'''Step two: Put your song into Morpheus' Downloads directory'''

Once you have used CC Publisher, your audio file should have extra metadata embedded. Simply copy the file to your Downloads directory within Morpheus to begin sharing it. Others using the Morpheus client should be able to see your song and search for it.
|}

'''Finding Creative Commons licensed audio on Morpheus'''

{|
|[[Image:3-morpheus.gif]]
|'''Search for licensed music at Morpheus'''

You can search for licensed songs at Morpheus by putting "cc:sampling" into the search field (search for other licenses via "cc:sharing" is coming soon).
|}

{|
|[[Image:4-morpheus.gif]]
|'''Licenses in Search Results'''

You should see Creative Commons license information in your search results.
|}

{|
|[[Image:5-morpheus.gif]]
|'''View license information in your results'''

Mousing over individual results will also display any Creative Commons license information. When downloading licensed songs, you may want to verify the files with [http://creativecommons.org/tools/cclookup CC Lookup].

[http://creativecommons.org/tools/cclookup View our CC Lookup tutorial]
|}

Most desktop website tools like Dreamweaver, Frontpage, or GoLive offer a "code view" that lets you see the code that makes up your page. Near the end of the page you are hosting music, before you see </body></html>, paste in the code copied in the previous step by clicking the page and hitting ctrl-v (command-v on a Mac).

If you use custom photo gallery software to display your images, try pasting the code into the "footer" file in your site, or the section of the gallery that controls what the bottom of pages look like.

== Introduction ==

[http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/01/14/creative-commons-configurator-wordpress-plugin/ Creative-Commons-Configurator], which has been actively developed since November 2005, is a plugin for the [http://wordpress.org/ WordPress Personal Publishing Platform]. This tool provides the blog owner with the ability to set a [http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] License for a WordPress blog and control the inclusion or display of the license information into the blog pages or the syndication feeds. All configuration is done from a configuration page in the administration panel.

== TODO ==

This page is work in progress.

* Migrate the development of the plugin to this CC wiki page.
* (possible, but not likely) Implement [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC_PHP-AJAX_Chooser CC PHP-AJAX Chooser] into the plugin.
* Provide the user with even more flexibility regarding the inclusion of the license data into the WordPress templates.

''Please help fix the table! This is meant to be a more detailed version of [[Books]], and the attempt at a detailed table is based on [[Case Studies]].''

Creative Commons licenses are not only for wikis, or for self-published work such as blogs. A number of books have also been published under a [[Creative Commons]] license, sometimes by major publishers (showing that a CC license can be used while making a profit).

The idea of this table is to let you sort by fields including license type and publisher.

Public domain

2009-08-05T14:03:49Z

Chriswaterguy: /* Creative Commons public domain tools */ (occasionally written as CC Zero) - to help searchers find the page

When a work is in the public domain, it is free for use by anyone for any purpose. Public domain is the purest form of open/free, since no one owns owns or controls the material in any way. In other words, it is free of any license. For more information, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain Wikipedia's article on public domain].

== When does a work enter the public domain? ==

This varies by country. To see when a work in the [[United States]] enters the public domain, see [http://www.copyright.gov/pr/pdomain.html copyright.gov's public domain page].

Cornell University has also provided a [http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/public_domain/ handy table about copyright term and the public domain] in the United States.

== Creative Commons public domain tools ==

* [[CC0]] (occasionally written as CC Zero) is a waiver that allows copyright holders to place works in the public domain to the extent legally possible, worldwide.
* CC's [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain public domain certification] serves to mark works that are in the public domain already. A next-generation version of this tool, to be called a "public domain assertion tool" is under development.
See http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain for more information on CC's public domain tools.

Public domain content in practice is any content without copyright. It may be deliberately freed from restrictions by the copyright owner, or the copyright may lapse after a certain time. All content created by US government employees as part of their employment is public domain, making US federal sites (considered together) probably the largest source of public domain content by far.

The legal details in practice vary between countries. More information about public domain can be found at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain Wikipedia's article on the public domain].

== Appropedia's Public Domain Search ==

[http://www.appropedia.org/Appropedia%27s_Public_Domain_Search Appropedia's Public Domain Search] was started in late 2007 when it was discovered there was no effective public domain search available. This operates on a completely different method to searches using the Creative Commons marks. It uses a manually maintained index of sites known to be public domain - thus it is does not yield 100% public domain results, and content must be checked to confirm public domain status. Reliability is expected to improve, and feedback by users is encouraged.

As CC public domain tools become widely used, searches based on the CC marks would be expected to take over from Appropedia's Public Domain Search.

Adding a CC mark to a WordPress blog

2009-05-16T18:34:52Z

Chriswaterguy: clarify a little

Adding a Creative Commons mark ([[marking]]) allows people to easily see how your work is licensed, and allows search engines to index your page by license.

If you have a WordPress blog on your own domain, there are at least two ways to add a CC mark:
* By editing the theme's footer.php or sidebar.php file. Get your license button HTML from http://creativecommons.org/license and paste it into your footer.php (or sidebar.php or wherever you want it to appear).
* Use a plugin (this is probably the easiest way). If you have a WordPress blog, there's an easy way to add a Creative Commons mark in the footer: the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/creative-commons-license-widget/ Creative Commons license widget]. (That page says it's only tested up to WordPress 2.5, but it seems to be working on [http://blogs.appropedia.org/ our version 2.71 blog] without problems. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 04:02, 16 May 2009 (UTC)) Note: it's easier to install from the admin interface (click Plugins, then Install) rather than downloading from the link given here.
