I would love to have a single button that included the CC press symbols
and the CC logo and presented it in a way that made it clear that it was
free and that linked to both the CC dead and a FD explanation of the
importance of freedom. Reading the CC trademark policies, I suspect that
we'd be alright using the symbols. I'm a little less clear on the CC
logo. Could someone at CC let us know if this is alright?
If so, we should considering something something similar for the GFDL
and for other free licenses.
Regards,
Mako
