license
Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 3:11 am
Two license-related issues with the gallery:
1. I am not sure if the web form for gallery upload reflects the most recent licenses available. The cf application seems to have picked up this newish license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/au/ However, I have tried to update the license on a recent upload using the web form, and it only offers 2.5. I am not sure when 3.0/au surfaced, so whether this is just lag, or whether you guys need to update your database manually.
2. Given that we are getting more mashups in the gallery, is it possible for the gallery to support links between derived works? Ideas for implementation:
* links to and from derived works
* links to and from included files
* magically parse gallery id, or gallery url, or list of gallery ids, ...
* "helpful reminders" for the author to respect the license of the original work. e.g. I am happy with "cc by-sa", but if I post a work derived from something that is "cc by-nc-sa", then it would be nice to be reminded to respect this, or to ask the original author.
