I am proposing a solution to this feature...

Main goal (obviously) is including a way to allow wordpress' users to license his media.

I think a common user who always use same functions learn a mechanical movement and new functions sometimes could be uncomfortable. That's why it's important design an option to include license information as if it had always been there.

Saving information about license and allowing viewers know more about CC licenses is mandatory. In the latter I can include an emergent image (like tool tip text or image's title) showing the simplest way to understand CC rights (http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/88x31.png).

Other features can be included by asking wordpress' users.


I wonder if I can modify wordpress database, adding a field to a table, but personally I prefer save a xml file. This stuff is to save licenses information.

So what do you think? any tips? and hints?
