Hi,
I noticed that plugin Copyrights produces following HTML (example):
<a target="_blanc" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" title="Creative Commons (BY): This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon this work, even commercially, as long as they credit the author for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of Creative Commons licenses. It allows maximum dissemination and use of licensed materials.">Creative Commons (BY)</a>
Cross-checking this with current CC license chooser - https://creativecommons.org/choose/ - this would produce something like:
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/80x15.png" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.
In my opinion we should add
rel="license"
to our code. This requires a simple change in file image.php
Original line:
<a target="_blanc" href="{$CR_INFO_URL}" title="{$CR_INFO_NAME}: {$CR_INFO_DESCR}">{$CR_INFO_NAME}</a>
Change to:
<a target="_blanc" rel="license" href="{$CR_INFO_URL}" title="{$CR_INFO_NAME}: {$CR_INFO_DESCR}">{$CR_INFO_NAME}</a>
I looked around the website but I cannot figure out how to do this change. I didn't even manage to find a way to contact the authors - I always end up on a page saying "You do not have permission to access this page." when I try to follow "Send e-mail" link on their profiles.
Can someone please pass this onto the right people or help me to fix the code myself?
Cheers, Tomas

Hi,
Is anyone able to contact users J.Commelin, Mattias, or ddtddt and bring this thread to their attention? My profile for some reason doesn't let me send them a direct message.
Cheers, Tomas

Hi ddtddt,
I am still unable to send you an email. This is the issue I described above. When I click on the email link to any user, not just yourself, I get a page saying:
You do not have permission to access this page.
Posting here on the forum is the only thing my account is allowed for some reason. I have put some detail about the actual improvement also to the original post. I think this would be a quick win. I did it in my local copy anyway, but I thought it would be useful to put it into the code base - in short: adding attribute
rel="license"
to the HTML anchor tag.
I was also looking at the Creative Commons license Zero, a.k.a. CC0. This is effectively gifting the image into public domain. When I look at the CC chooser for this license, it generates code with little extra complexity. It would be for example good to include country (jurisdiction) where a person applied this license. Supposedly it can have legal consequences to the person using the work (different countries define copyright and neighbouring rights differently). Here is an example:
<p xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:vcard="http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#"> <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"> <img src="https://licensebuttons.net/p/zero/1.0/80x15.png" style="border-style: none;" alt="CC0" /> </a> <br /> To the extent possible under law, <a rel="dct:publisher" href="https://tomassobekphotography.co.nz"> <span property="dct:title">Tomas Sobek</span></a> has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to this work. This work is published from: <span property="vcard:Country" datatype="dct:ISO3166" content="NZ" about="https://tomassobekphotography.co.nz"> New Zealand</span>. </p>
I thought perhaps it could be accommodated in the plugin with two new fields: Free-form flag (Yes/No) and Free-form text, where the text would include the whole HTML code to include on the page. The HTML would have to be obviously shortened in some way, but that could be left as an end-user's exercise. What do you think?
Cheers, Tomas
