General ⇒ Command for Output and Formatting of a License

[RyDroid]

Hi.

I would like to know if there is a package for getting some thing like \license{name of the license}? The name of the licence can for example be "Creative Commons BY-SA".

Thanks.

And where to put it? I guess, you want to add some meta data to your pdf file, please have a look at xmpincl and hyperxmp.

Thanks.

I thought that there was a command like \license{name}{url}{text of the license} that can be used by \maketitle and the PDF generator.

So I have done that :

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[british,english,american]{babel}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{hyperxmp}

% title, author, etc

\hypersetup{
  pdfcopyright={Creative Commons 0},
  pdflicenseurl={https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/}
}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
  \centerline{\href{https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/}{License Creative Commons 0}, except quotes}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

I wasn't aware, that you want to have the license completely visible in your document. A longer complete license can be included as meta data into the pdf.

In a beamer presentation, you could also inlude the CC (creative commons) logo linking to the license.

Ok, thanks for the additional explanations.
For people that are interresting, this is a "package" that I have found for easily add a CC license : https://blog.hartwork.org/?p=52
