Hi all,
We've just released a new version of Liblicense.  If you missed out on
our previous release, Liblicense is a library for managing licenses and
license metadata. It allows for querying licenses and their associated
rights. Liblicense facilitates the creation of license-aware
applications by ensuring up-to-date license selection and the ability to
read and write licenses to a variety of file formats.

Liblicense 0.3 is the first version to feature desktop integration. It
now features Gnome Nautilus integration -- license are displayed and can
be written from within Nautilus. The integration also takes advantage of
emblems to visibly display files as licensed.

Additionally, it features new modules supporting reading from and
writing licenses to MSOffice (pre-2007), FLAC, ogg+FLAC, MusePack, and
SMIL. Modules already available include support for JPEG, PNG, TIFF,
PDF, AVI, Quicktime, WAV, MP3, and SVG.

also find a tutorial at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Liblicense_tutorial.

Thanks,
Scott
