Marking

Best Practices for Marking Content with CC Licensing.

Once you have selected a license for your content, it is important to mark your content clearly so that others know what permissions they have. Ideally, your mark should include the following:

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 (colors).
