Drupal Wishlist #1: CreativeCommons liscensing integration into Drupal

Submitted by admin on Tue, 11/23/2004 - 11:15

The first item on my Drupal Wishlist is CreativeCommons licensing to be integrated directly into Drupal. Not only would this enable users to select and associate appropriate liscences for and to their works, these liscences would allow content producers to follow the propegation of their works across the internet as they get exported through RSS/XML feeds.

On another level, I have no doubt that this has huge potential to signicantly leverage the credibitily that Drupal has established as a powerful technical tool within advocacy and community building circles.

The technical details on how to interface with the Creative Commons liscencing tools are already available. Here are a couple relevant links:

I'm afraid the programming skills required to do this might be a tad over my head without additional guidance and/or assistance. In the meantime, I'd love to know if anybody else out there is working on this or has any comments to offer.
