Creative Commons license versions

[Maniues]

Dear PeerTube community,

Some videos are licensed under CC Licenses (Attribution, non-commercial etc.). You can choose CC License, but there are many versions of that licenses (1.0,2.0,2.5,3.0,4.0). PeerTube doesn't allow to select for example 3.0 version, but actually, PeerTube redirects users to CC Beta Chooser, so the best option is to add 4.0 versions (and CC0v1). Solution: Add versions and URLs to that licenses

Working on this :slightly_smiling_face:

[Poslovitch]

How would we go with adding a link?

Licences names are quite long already.

[Maniues]

Just add "4.0", without acronyms, so:

• Attribution - Share Alike 4.0 instead of
• Attribution - Share Alike (CC-BY-SA 4.0)

[Maniues]

Or just add URLs to these licenses and omit the "4.0" or acronyms. I generated random movie from peertube website: https://vidcommons.org/w/9952af68-0b30-4ea0-81ac-a26444541331 Look: If you click on the license name, you can search videos under that license. I propose change it to license URL on creativecommons.org

If you're interested, you might want to read our development blog on how we addressed CC licenses and their display through the plugin we made.

[Poslovitch]

Well, that plugin should be part of the core I think.

[Maniues]

@Poslovitch You're right. But actually, peertube should has at least license versions captions. Can you add them?

@frankstrater it's interesting, but it's written in Python, but PeerTube is written in TS. Is it possible to integrate this plugin with PeerTube?

The CC plugin was part of a bigger project that contains some other "tools" (Python scripts). The plugin is written in Typescript, published on npmjs and available for install through the PeerTube admin interface. See:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/peertube-plugin-creative-commons

You can see the plugin in action on several instances, like: https://spectra.video/

[Maniues]

Oh, yes, thanks! So, python scripts are to use by user to use with PeerTube, not to install on instance of PeerTube?

Those Python script do stuff with the API of your instance (like bulk importing and/or editing videos). Those are not part of the PeerTube codebase, but more like 'extensions' (hence the project name Extending PeerTube)

[Maniues]

So, I can download them and use with my instance, but CC Plugin is designed to integrate it with PeerTube codebase, right?

[frankstrater]

Yes, that's right.

Is this work in progress?

It's an open issue, but I doubt anyone is working on content licensing in PeerTube. If there are any, it's probably outside the PeerTube core, so maybe someone is working on an alternative license plugin.
