attribution share alike

You are free:

  • to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work
  • to remix – to adapt the work

Under the following conditions:

  • attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
  • share alike – If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same or compatible license as the original.

Principles of design:

  • 100% wide, to make optimal use of available screen realestate
    • Might require a max at some point... ?
  • color palette: undecided
  • the layout should be common for most templates and only differ in terms of 'styling' and the features being used
  • On mobile, don't centre text.
  • Styles to be defined on MediaWiki:Filepage.css

TODO:

  • Where/how to position the attribution ?
  • How to deal with multilicenses (considering a new box, with explicit OR: statements between them.)
  • Create a distinct difference between a license and a copyright assessment (aka. public domain, non-eligible etc) ?
  • Have a place for procedural information "This licensing tag was added to this file as part of the GFDL licensing update."
  • What to do with warnings like those on {{PD-USGov-NASA}} In my view, these should be clearly separate, from the primary license info
  • What to do with the sourcing information that is used in determining the copyright information ?
