As discussed in http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
edu/browse_thread/thread/aa651032bb34a285, it would be very nice if
published worksheets could include licensing information, so that we could
collect, modify, and redistribute excellent worksheets.
So, when publishing worksheets, there should be a mechanism to choose a
license; as a start, maybe just hard-code four choices: CC by-sa-nc, by-
sa, GFDL, and no licensing information at all. If a license is chosen,
this would put something like this into the worksheet:
{{{
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/";>
<img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0"
src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/3.0/us/80x15.png";
/></a><br />This worksheet is licensed under a <a rel="license"
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/";>Creative
Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License</a>.
}}}
The rel="license" bit is a microformat that will make the licensing
information computer-readable, so that eventually one could search for
worksheets available with a certain license.
