More or less. Maybe also with something similar to a petition/blogroll
that lets them sign up/register as supporting the idea too. And they
also get the code to insert the button for their website as well.

Terry, are you interested to work with Delphine and me on this? If so
we can kick it around a bit offlist.

It is the first time I have seen them: they look awesome.
One that might be needed is one representing the idea of "full license
text copy" or "fulltext" a la GFDL.
