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

| − | 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 [http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-community/2007-February/001569.html a thread] that happened on the [http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-community/ 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.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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. [[User:Ktucker|Kim]] 13:48, 5 March 2007 (CET)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : 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.--[[User:Erik Möller|Erik Möller]] 15:45, 5 March 2007 (CET)

| |
| − | Would it be too much trouble to ask for buttons with "PD" in the same size letters as the other buttons have (and perhaps "Public Domain" underneath there in small print for some variants, like there are for the others). No reason to not have such. The current ones with Public and Domain in same size on different rows looks very busy to me. -- [[User:Cimon Avaro|Cimon Avaro]] 12:26, 10 July 2007 (CEST)

| − | I wonder if the process stipulated that submitted logos and buttons should be PD since the section [[Definition#Identifying_Free_Cultural_Works|Identifying Free Cultural Works]] in version 1.1 of the definition indicates so ([[User:KTucker|K]] ([[User talk:KTucker|talk]]) 18:47, 31 December 2014 (EST)):

| − | I like the Terry Hancock designs. I particularly like that they ''almost'' seem to be based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgramma_(typeface) Microgramma] extended or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurostile Eurostile] extended capital O. However, I think that the little "attribution" dude looks a bit odd. Perhaps you should use the "Toilets - Men" figure from the [http://www.aiga.org/symbol-signs/ AIGA sign designs] -- they're in the public domain, and generally more familiar (at least to U.S. viewers; perhaps not elsewhere), and they're available in EPS format, which is <s>relatively easy to convert</s> to SVG. (clarification: I'm ''not'' getting "public domain" from "available for all to use, free of charge" on AIGA's website, I'm getting it from the fact that the images were designed in collaboration with the US Dept. of Transportation, making them [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-AIGA public domain] Also: there's already [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aiga_toiletsq_men.svg an SVG]) [[Special:Contributions/207.65.109.10|207.65.109.10]] 06:43, 15 June 2011 (EDT)
