This article is a stub. You can help the Creative Commons by expanding it.
A Creative Commons Add-in for OpenOffice.org would allow license information to be embedded in OpenOffice.org Writer, Impress and Calc documents.
Status
- Browse code at http://cctools.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cctools/ccooo/ or checkout from https://cctools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cctools/ccooo/
- Needs UI cleanup
- Needs packaging(?) and release
Requirements
- Use the Creative Commons web services to display a licensing dialog and generate licensing information
- available for Python
- available for Java
- can be encapsulated as an uno service if needed
- Store license URI, properties and/or RDF in the document file
- OOo user defined metadata can be used (metadata renamed and string stored)
- Insert license declaration text (see discussion below)
Desirable Features
- Make license text available as Auto Text. Just like a page number or "Author" auto text, this could be inserted in the footer of a document. If the license for the document was updated, the text would be updated as well.
- translation ?
- Educational component (wizard) assists people in selecting appropriate license types for their desires
- Display license information when opening CC licensed documents
