If you are interested in licensing your work but would prefer to host it at your own website, ccPublisher can generate a piece of HTML which contains machine-readable information about the license you selected. This allows people who download your work with embedded license information to validate the license.

Using ccPublisher for Self-Hosting

Complete steps one through four as described on the ccPublisher main page.

Step five: Choose your destination

The verification URL is URL of the page which you will paste the verification HTML into. The verification HTML contains a hash of the file you are licensing, which allows software to validate the file's license.

Step seven: Save the Generated HTML
