Technical Details

Archive.org has implemented 1) a license chooser in the upload process, 2) the CC marks on works licensed/copyright waived with CC, 3) a subset of the CC REL metadata specification, and 4) a way to search for CC licensed content.

License/PD Mark

CC license and public domain markers appear on Archive.org in many places. For pages of objects marked as licensed under Creative Commons, an image typically appears in the left hand sidebar.

For example, see this page:

Sometimes a link to the license will appear in the description area of the page.

For example see this page:

The CC0 mark appears on pages for works that have been dedicated to the public domain by the creator.

For example, see this page:

And a link to the waiver appears in the description:

Metadata

Archive.org has implemented a subset of the CC REL specification by including the rel="license" attribute in links to the CC license deeds.

For example, see the source to this page:

<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" target="_blank" ><img title="[Attribution 3.0]" alt="[Attribution 3.0]" style="height:31px" id="ccimage" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/88x31.png"/></a>
