Review the list of licenses included by default
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently the licenses that are included by default with MediaUploader are those that were used on Commons. To make configuring the extension easier, we should expand the list of available licenses.

The list of available licenses should be briefly documented, together with instructions for adding custom ones.

TODO:

  • Creative Commons
    • don't bother with country variants
    • 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0
    • zero, BY, BY-SA, BY-NC, BY-ND, BY-NC-ND
  • PD: old, ineligible
  • all rights reserved
  • Beerware, because it's a good license
  • WTFPL, similarly
  • whatever else that was inherited from commons

and I think that will be more than enough.

Also, as the config is defined in PHP, just loop through all the CC variants for sanity.

okay, maybe not CC 1.0 licenses, they are really ancient now
