wish: tool sees <head>…<link rel="license" title="cc by-sa" href="…by-sa…">…</head> ⇒ marks site as free culture (also gpl and cc by). -

so now we only need tools which parse the license link to be able to see if content is free. Better would be using the HTML5 <link title=…> -

ah, yes, the standard way is http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/link <head>…<link rel="license" href="/gpl.txt">…</head> -

is there a standard way to mark a website as GPL or CC-by-sa? Which is supported by tools? -

meta tags are dreadful for that: I can’t just add them from a CMS - or rather disable… (but I’ll remember it for my homepage) -

I think it would not slow down the rendering, since the ❤ or ★ can simply be added after rendering - if need be by Javascript. -

but having my browser notify me that the link would bring me to an unfree page if I clicked it would be nice. -

linking to other sites cannot be prevented without limiting free speech → that’s a step I am not willing to take. -

or show a green ❤ or golden ★ behind every link which goes to a free licensed page - similar to what Sone in !Freenet does. !cc -

something like libreJS, but for the content. -

A standard to define the license (I assume that exists), which gets used by FF. Maybe even for links (check target, unfree → Gray) -

full ack. I’d love to have a Firefox-Extension which grays out all sites which do not have a free license. -

@lxoliva I’m cannot negotiate with artists. I try to convince them that free culture is the better way for them, too. -

@zotz for me CC is a way for the artist to say “you may do this” and for the user to say “I only want to see what I can use”. -

@zotz The main effort for me is finding works with cc licenses at all. After that, most sites have nice selectors. -

@lxoliva going further would likely divide our community quite badly and keep people away who start with NC and leave it out later -

@lxoliva I think they are already making a nice distinction there by saying “they are the commons, but not free culture”. -

@zotz oh damn, am I really arguing *for* NC? … guess so. To change society, you must remember those who start with the first steps. -

@zotz you can’t mix licenses with *different* terms at all, except if one is a real subset of the other — which is pretty clear with #cc. -

@laurelrusswurm ouch :( — and yes, I would prefer having everything as GPL today, but reality is slow.
