Hi Jonas,

To be clear, this is the description of the namespace: 

"credit be given to copyright holder and/or author" according to view-source:https://creativecommons.org/schema.rdf

So I read this as a binary that when present credit should be given. It does not specify a way to do that, and I think it shouldn't as well.

Cheers,

Maarten

Hi all,

here's a question from IRC which was left hanging. Wondering if anyone here has any thoughts about it :)

09:14 <jonaso> Been looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/372427 which uses ccREL cc:permits and cc:requires to express licenses which are not CC licenses, ie., FAL. They've coded FAL same as CC BY-SA 

09:14 <jonaso> I wonder if that's the intent: ns#Attribution has a specific meaning in the CC vocabulary which is slightly different from FAL's attribution requirement.

09:15 <jonaso> So I wonder if we should think of ccREL ns#Attribution as "requires some attribution, unspecified exactly how, what or when" or if ns#Attribution should mean more exactly the terms of the CC licenses.

09:16 <jonaso> In the latter case, I guess there should be a separate vocabulary to express terms more closely to FAL and other licenses.

Sincerely,
Jonas
