Creative Commons

The Creative Commons module allows users to select and assign a Creative Commons license to a node and any attached content, or to the entire site. It also provides integration between CC and Drupal technology.

• The Creative Commons API to get up-to-date license information (language localization available)
• Licensing is enabled per content type.
• Administrators can control which roles have permission to license content, restrict which license types are available, require specific metadata be included, and set site-wide defaults
• Users can be permitted to set their own defaults, subject to site-wide settings
• License information and metadata is available through the Views API (basics implemented, more to come)
• A CC search option is available (depends on Drupal search module)
• ccREL is implemented using RDFa to embed machine-readable metadata in the page (e.g. for search engines to recognize licensing)

This module was updated for Drupal 6 as part of the Google Summer of Code 2009 by Blaise Alleyne, and Alleyne Inc. continues to sponsor his work on the project.
