• This plugin provides a configuration page in the admin panel which lets the user set a Creative Commons license for a WordPress blog by providing the HTML code, which can be generated by the creative commons license selector, and set some options in order to include or display license info.

    This info can be added to:

    • the web page header (RDF metadata). Not visible to humans only to bots.
    • below the post’s body in single post view (HTML)
    • into syndicated content (Atom, RSS 2.0 and RDF) through the creative commons RSS module, which btw validates properly.

    All this is done by setting the relevant options in the administration panel:
    Admin Panel -> Options -> License

    For full functionality, WordPress 2 or newer is required. The inclusion of license info in the feeds does not work in older wordpress versions due to technical reasons.

    Plugin homepage and download

    Your feedback is welcome. Although this is only the first version, it works ok. I also have a couple of features to add to the next version (when time permits).

    Updated to version 0.2

    From the changelog:
    – Added a WordPress version check, so that the option to include licensing info in the feeds does not appear in older WP version than 2.0.
    – Added an informational section in the configuration page about the template tags that can be used in the theme.
    – Added success message after successful license reset.
    – Added success message after successful license code submission.
    – Added error message if license code does not seem valid.
    – Added some Creative Commons license code verification. Seems to work with all licenses, but is very primitive. Only the basic HTML code structure is checked.
    – The default licensing info message that is displayed after the post’s body was modified.
    – Added one more option. Now a user can define some custom code that will be displayed
    together with the default message below the post’s body.
    – Added some template tags that can be used by a user on a theme.
    – More modularization of the code.
    – Minor fixes, so it works properly with other CC licenses, eg Developing Nations, Sampling etc.
    – Minor form HTML code fixes.

    How do we make it appear as a footer?

    Does this plugin allow you to set the license for each post. That’s what I really need (i have a blog written by several people). How do you solve that problem?
