Technical Details
License Chooser
IssueLab has implemented a CC license chooser so that users can select a CC license to apply to their work during the upload process:
On the same page as the CC license chooser, Issuelab has included an informational sidebar about CC licensing:
License Mark
IssueLab has a CC license mark on the footer of the site indicating that content on the site is licensed under CC BY:
The CC license mark also appears on pages for resources that have been CC licensed by uploaders
For example, see this page of a whitepaper uploaded by Creative Commons under a CC BY license:
Metadata
IssueLab has implemented a subset of the CC REL specification by using the rel="license" attribute in links to the license deeds.
For example, see this code on the home page:
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/3.0/us/80x15.png" /></a> Except where otherwise noted, all content on this website is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/">Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License</a>.
They have also implemented rel="license" on pages for content uploaded to the site and CC licensed by users.
For example, see the source of the page for this article:
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/88x31.png"/></a><br/>This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License</a>.
