Hi Everyone,
I first want to say "hi" by way of introduction, as I just joined this
list. I'm the legal lead for CC Canada (but spend most time in software
development as opposed to lawyering). I also run the licensing
information site www.clipol.org. Okay, back to the thread...
Tarmo, it looks like there's another WP Plugin called "Creative Commons
Configurator" that is more up-to-date (it has commits in 2013 at any
rate): http://wordpress.org/plugins/creative-commons-configurator-1/.
Maybe it doesn't meet your needs, but I just thought I'd mention it in
case you hadn't seen it.
Also, I implemented a CC Rails gem earlier this week (and it'll be on
Github once I get a moment to write a readme). It's a basic view helper
that allows one liners such as "license_helper(:by_sa)" or
"license_helper(:by_sa, jurisdiction: :ca, version: '3.0' ) to generate
the license notices. I mention this gem because it pulls in full I18n
internationalization support for all jurisdictions and languages
available on the License Chooser webpage. I'd be happy to port these
localizations over to the WP plugin.

What's happened so far:
Haven't heard any comments from BjornW yet. I contacted the original
author, first CTO Nathan Yergler, but even he is unable to make
changes to the existing plugin in Wordpress Codex, since the account
is keyed to his now nonexistent @creativecommons.org mail account. And
the current CTO, Nathan Kinkade, just left CC, so we're in a bit of an
impasse. I sent email to Dan to see if he can help recover the email
confirmation message that would allow someone to edit the plugin, but
he hasn't responded - probably busy with many other things.
I'm happy doing my own thing with the plugin, but I'm still thinking
it would make sense to have a concerted effort and rebuild the
official plugin and to get it to be available on wordpress.com blogs.
This will not happen unless the CC as an organization is behind the
plugin. But I guess technical work is a bit stalled right now due
personnel changes.

Hi Bjorn! I pushed my edits to a github repository
here: https://github.com/tarmot/wp-cc-plugin/tree/tarmo-mods
The plugin is still named according to the original License, so it
will conflict with it and cannot be published on WP codex as it is.
But you should be able to give it a go.

Hi Tarmo,
I'm a WordPress plugin developer myself and I'm willing to help
out. For
instance with testing. Do you have your code somewhere online, like
Github or some other place where we can check it out and perhaps send
patches / pull requests?

Hi all,
I'm new to the list, but did check the archives back at least 2 years
and did not see any mention of this. So here goes:
There's a Wordpress plugin that is listed in the CC
wiki: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/WpLicense
However, WpLicense hasn't been updated since 2007. It's well done,
since it still works. However, it is very limited in its
behavior. Does anyone know if there's already people looking at
resuming development of that plugin?
What I've needed is a plugin that works for a multi-author blog,
where
each author may have a separate license in use, and where certainly
the attribution generated in the CC license should reflect each
post's
real author.
The best plugin I've found is License, which also is outdated and a
bit buggy: http://wordpress.org/plugins/license/
I've updated it myself to work better in non-US contexts and fixing
bugs. It allows for a default CC license for the blog, a default
license for each author, and post-specific licenses that override
those defaults. The widgets and short codes display correct
post-specific author names in the RDF and HTML.
I'm planning on publishing my fixed version of "License" to the
Wordpress codex. But I'm wondering what the best approach would be in
terms of WpLicense and what others are planning or wanting to do.
