Der Lizenzhinweisgenerator hilft dabei, Bilder aus Wikipedia und dem freien Medienarchiv Wikimedia Commons einfach und rechtssicher nachzunutzen. Dabei werden die nötigen Lizenzinformationen automatisiert durch die Beantwortung weniger Fragen zusammengestellt.
Diese Anwendung hilft dabei, Bilder aus Wikipedia und dem freien Medienarchiv Wikimedia Commons einfach und rechtssicher nachzunutzen. Diese Anwendung soll dabei helfen, die Lizenzbedingungen bei der Nachnutzung einzuhalten, und sie soll Hilfe bei der Verwendung frei lizenzierter Inhalte bieten. Dies funktioniert, indem die Anwendung alle Informationen anzeigt, die zusammen als so genannter Lizenzhinweis möglichst unmittelbar beim genutzten Bild abgedruckt bzw. angezeigt werden müssen (je nach Publikationsart kann auch eine übliche andere Stelle ausreichend sein für den Hinweis, bei einem Buch etwa eine zentrale Bildnachweisseite, bei einem Video etwa der Vor- oder Abspann). Bisher deckt die Anwendung die Nachnutzung in digitalen und gedruckten Medien ab, da dies die häufigsten Nutzungsformen sind. Andere Nutzungen (z.B. Ausstellungen, Sendungen, Live-Darbietungen) bleiben vorerst unberücksichtigt.
We are publishing today for comment our new Public Domain Mark, a tool that allows works already in the public domain to be marked and tagged in a way that clearly communicates the work’s PD status, and allows it to be easily discoverable. The PDM is not a legal instrument like CC0 or our licenses — it can only be used to label a work with information about its public domain copyright status, not change a work’s current status under copyright.
A project being undertaken by Curtis+Cartwright with JISC funding in 2009, exploring the legal issues associated with the sharing and reuse of library catalogue records.
You can use this website to clarify and advance your understanding of what you are entitled to do with the bibliographic records which you hold within your institutional library catalogue.

Legal challenges around the area of data protection and defamation are likely to raise their head with the arrival of the Semantic Web, the next version of the World Wide Web, or Web 3.0 to some.
We believe that dedicating data to the public domain is the best way to ensure that data is universally reusable and remixable. When data is public domain it means that it can be reused automatically without needing to check terms and conditions or track the source of every statement to provide attribution. These kinds of things act as friction to reuse, wasting energy that could be better spent creating inspiring things.
Today's announcement by the Open Knowledge Foundation of the release of version 1.0 of the Open Database License (ODbL) will create resentment in both professions- information technologists need to understand some of its complications, and lawyers will need to understand some technological limits of the license. In this post, I will try to articulate what some of the hard bits are.
On June 15, the site-footer and various other messages in the English Wikipedia were changed to reflect the licensing change that the Wikimedia community overwhelmingly approved last month: from the GNU Free Documentation License as the primary content license to the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA). Creative Commons founder Larry Lessig tweeted that it was the “first copyright message ever to bring tears” to his eyes, and Mike Linksvayer called it a “free culture win” in the Creative Commons blog.
