It is not getting me to do it, it is getting the rest of the world to do it.
I was going to say even @creativecommons on identi.ca does this quite often,
but in trying to confirm, I see it is mostly doing it right. The first iffy
example I got is:
Massive new remix contest from @indabamusic and @Metric! $10k in prizes -
submissions are CC-licensed: http://bit.ly/bmZ4J8
The thing is, until CC gets behind promoting a FreeCC brand (or something the
same with a better name) then when asking for this from all the various
websites, one is basically brushed off as asking for something unimportant. I
think the people going the extra step need a little help and love.
Consider: http://www.kompoz.com/compose-collaborate/staff.list.project
I have been asking for ages that the license be indicated in this list either
by way of letter code of colour or icon. Nothing.
Same with their front page:
http://www.kompoz.com/compose-collaborate/home.music
So for every project, one has to click on it and go to the project's page to
check the license.
Kompoz is not the only site with these sorts of issues.
The think is Mike, I don't care so much that my particular suggestion gets
implemented. I care that we move towards a solution and making the situation
better. It would surprise me if my idea was the best we could come up with. I
would be happy with some brainstorming and then some progress.
