  1. The normal CC license button icons: http://creativecommons.org/presskit
  2. The full URI to the license
  3. A copyright statement with the date and creators(s).
    • May be followed by "Some Rights Reserved"
    • Examples:
      • © 2007, Name.
      • © 2007, Name. Some Rights Reserved.
  4. Optional : Color coded to match the color of the human deed. color palette
