<div style="font-size:125%; line-height:1.75em; margin-bottom:1.75em;">
This is a page describing ''everything'' a web-based (media) hosting site could do to integrate CC and CC-related features. From simple blogs to elaborate user-generated content communities, there are easy ways to share website content by publishing it under a Creative Commons license. Below we provide a basic overview of how you may integrate Creative Commons licensing into your website.

== Applications with Creative Commons licensing built-in ==

The following list of software packages and web applications incorporated Creative Commons licensing, so you won't have to copy/paste HTML from licenses or add buttons to your pages.

=== Photography Applications ===

* [http://www.onfocus.com/snap/ SnapGallery]: [Windows] Drag a folder of photos on your desktop onto this script and it will automatically build you a Gallery of HTML pages. You can select a license during setup that will be embedded in each gallery page.

=== Graphics Applications ===

* [[Inkscape]], an open source drawing tool (that uses SVG). One may select a CC license for content directly from within the metadata dialog.

=== Blog Applications ===

* [http://movabletype.org/ Movable Type]: [server software] A robust weblogging system that allows you to select and apply a license to your individual blogs. Displays the button and metadata automatically.
* [http://manila.userland.com/ Manila]: [server software] Another weblog management system that allows authors to select licenses for their blogs, displaying the button and metadata in your site's template.
* [http://www.squarespace.com Squarespace]: [service] A website- and blog-publishing service that allows users to select a CC license for their sites and displays a license button and metadata automatically.
* [http://www.mediawiki.com Mediawiki]: [server software] The software which powers this wiki and http://www.wikipedia.org. During installation a user is allowed to select a license for their wiki.
* [http://avoir.uwc.ac.za/ AVOIR/Chisimba]: [server software] Full featured weblogging application built on top of the Chisimba PHP5 Framework. Allows individual post licences as well as providing RDF metadata.
* [http://kete.net.nz/ Kete]: [server software] Full featured collaborative web application that can be configured easily to allow for individual blogs, built on top of the Ruby on Rails Framework. Site administrators can set licences options for users to choose from, distributed with CC licenses. Licenses are then displayed and built into metadata. Uses [http://github.com/kete/acts_as_licensed/ Acts_as_Licensed] Rails plugin that can be used by other Rails apps to include licensing functionality.

=== Web Applications ===
* [http://www.archive.org/ Archive.org]: An archive of content, the [http://www.archive.org/movies/opensource_movies.php Open Source Movies] section displays Creative Commons licenses and lets anyone add their own movies under a license. The [http://www.archive.org/audio/collection.php?collection=opensource_audio Open Source Audio] section does the same, but for audio files.
* [http://ymdi.org YMDI]: Youth Media Distribution is a teen-themed offshoot of the documentary filmmaking non-profit Media Rights. Teens can upload films they have created, get information on how to distribute films, and license their films for use by others.
* [http://stories.about.ticketstubs.org/ Ticketstubs.org]: Share stories of past concerts, movies, and events. When you contribute a story, you can license your story for use by others.

Uses [http://github.com/kete/acts_as_licensed/ Acts_as_Licensed] Rails plugin that can be used by other Rails apps to include licensing functionality.

=== Authoring Tools ===

* [http://www.screenbooks.net Screenbook Maker]: A tool for creating online visual tutorials, Windows HTML Help, or just web books (linked HTML pages). For an example of the kind of content that can be created with this tool, see the [http://help.joomla.org/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,253/ Joomla Visual Tutorial Bookshelf]. For a walkthrough of how to add the Creative Commons license to content created with Screenbook Maker see [http://www.screenbooks.net/e/sbhelp1.1/ScreenBook_Maker/B2_Basics/Books/N0_Copyrights/sbook2.htm Screenbook Copyrights]

=== Mobile Applications ===

* [http://winksite.com WINKsite]: A mobile publishing system that allows you to select and apply a license to your mobile site & blog. Displays the button and metadata is automatically included in feeds.
