License HTML Code
Revision as of 21:18, 8 April 2007 by Tadhg O'Higgins (talk | contribs)
If you wish to insert license information into HTML pages (online or offline), here are some pointers (modify these to reflect the license you're actually using):
Use the link element's "copyright" rel value to point to the license like so:
<link rel="copyright" type="text/html" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/" />
Use the "copyright" meta value like so:
<meta name="copyright" content="This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 543 Howard Street, 5th Floor, San Francisco, California, 94105, USA." />
Add RDF data in a comment somewhere in your page:
<!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns="http://web.resource.org/cc/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <Work rdf:about=""> <license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/" /> <dc:type rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text" /> </Work> <License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/"> <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/DerivativeWorks"/> <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Attribution"/> <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Attribution"/> <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Notice"/> </License> </rdf:RDF> -->
(These are all in addition to the text and image generated by the license selection process.)
