Metadata is a visible and acceptable means of recording license information for multimedia. ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking/Creators ) As the linked article mentions, nobody expects license information imposing across an image. Sometimes this is used in order to help prevent breach of copyright, but it is not an actual license requirement. As per the above article, it seems that publishing the information on the web page that serves the media would be ideal, or in a short credit at the end of the media (like the regular movie credits), but Metadata can certainly fill that role. For complex documents with many sources, perhaps it would suffice to point to a file on Gitorious with 'Full license and attribution here: <link>' cheers Helen -- IRC: helen_au [email protected] helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
