This is just a draft made of ideas to integrate Creative Commons licenses into the Gnome Desktop. A software repository has been created to host all patches and plugins still not accepted in the different projects. If you have any patch or piece of code which it's useful to the integration, send it to me (acidborg@gmail.com) and I'll upload it to the repository (only GPL code accepted).

Find CC licensed contents
- Search the desktop: If Freedesktop's Metadata Spec is modified to include a "license" field in first class objects specification, Tracker could be used to look for CC licensed files within the desktop using Deskbar-applet as front-end. See this bug for more info. Also, need to create a Beagle and Tracker search plugin.
- Search the Internet: This can be done using Deskbar-Applet CC Search
Applications aware of CC licenses
- Inkscape
- Epiphany (with Epiphany CC Extension , official since Gnome 2.17)
- Firefox (with MozCC plugin)
- Banshee (with CcBanshee)
- Deskbar Applet (with Deskbar-Applet CC Search)

- Send patches to existing Gnome applications to add CC licenses interaction using Bugzilla.
- Please add more suggestions here :)
