Official Creative Commons plugin for Wordpress.
This plugin gives authors the ability to mark their content with Creative Commons licenses and to display the licenses along with the content.  

== Description ==

The WPLicense plugin gives authors the ability to mark their content with a [Creative Commons](http://creativecommons.org/) license and to display the license along with the content.
With Creative Commons licenses, you keep your copyright but share your creativity. 

By default, the plugin will display a license in the footer of your theme. The license plugin is also a widget, and can be dragged to any widget area.
This will suppress display of the license in the theme footer and display it instead in the widget area.

The default license used by the plugin is the Creative Commons [Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) license.
This can be easily changed including attribution, depending on the permissions by a user with the role: superadmin, site admin or author. 

WPLicense is based loosely on the License plugin (a component of the [MIT Educational Collaboration Space](http://ecs.mit.edu) project) by mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine) & Brett Mellor. Bits from other plugins have also been used, and most of them of course are based on the original WpLicense, written by Creative Commons CTO Nathan Yergler.

WPLicense will work perfectly fine with WordPress Network (aka Multisite). 

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `wplicense` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. From the Widgets menu, drag the License widget to the widget area in which you would like the license to appear.  Otherwise, the license will appear in the Wordpress footer area by default.
