Talk:Logos and buttons

Hi. Just an idea about the buttons: Please make it more international, by using symbols instead of text (like Attribution, Share-Alike). Regards--77.234.80.162 23:18, 16 February 2007 (CET)

Should we avoid duplicating Creative Commons work? - and focus on icons for free/libre content? - e.g. CC-By and Public Domain are arguably non-free/libre - as both allow derived works (such as translations and localisations) to be released under more restrictive licenses.

I strongly disagree. There is no higher degree of freedom than the absence of copyright. To argue that the works of Shakespeare are not libre because they are not under a copyleft license is bizarre to me. This is also in line with the definition, which permits copyleft, but does not require it.--Erik Möller 15:45, 5 March 2007 (CET)

Thanks Erik. Some comments: Discussion of copyleft

Thinking About Buttons

The buttons, in my opinion, still need a little more work. What we need to do is provide some HTML through which people can include the buttons on their sites. This HTML needs to include a link to the button, which is easy enough, but it should also include the necessary RDF and a link, somewhere back to the deed on the CC site. This should be, I think, in addition to the link to a license-specific page in our wiki. I'm thinking what we should do is create an image map with a small area (it could even just be a couple pixels) that links to the CC site and the rest can link to us.

There is a thread that happened on the CC-Community mailing list that is worth reading over first. The thread also raised some interesting issues about about using the CC icons instead of the letters which I definitely think we should do. If someone can help with the the new buttons, I could probably sit down and hack out some sort of solution in terms of the image maps. Benjamin Mako Hill 22:22, 8 April 2007 (CEST)

MediaWiki

You should get these put into MediaWiki, and when administrators start up their wiki, create a way for them to choose between the logos, as well as the license. 59.167.75.42 04:21, 17 April 2007 (CEST)

Gallery

Hi, does anyone have an idea why <gallery perrow="3"></gallery> doesn't work here? --Kjoonlee 20:50, 18 June 2007 (CEST)
