I was chatting with
@_Bleu_ this morning about a trending image in the database and I'm not sure we are properly crediting the Creative Commons licensing that goes along with such images. This is an issue related to how all CC images are displayed in the database, not this particular individual one. The example in question:
Looking closely at the text on this page:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/...
I came across this part:
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.
and I see that even though the image is properly credited and the license is mentioned, there is no actual link to the license. The unlinked text is shown here:
License: Creative Commons (cc-by-sa-3.0) (Attribution, ShareAlike)
I would imagine it would be very easy to automatically hotlink the selected CC license text, and all such CC license text, to the following URL, to conform with the requirements specified on the Wikipedia page.
https://creativecommons.org/li...
Does this make sense?
@dave @jon is there an easy fix for this? Is the link actually necessary?
