Allow users to choose how they license their posts #370

Requested by Luke via email:

Add a checkbox beneath each post (when submitting it for the first time), such 
that by default the work will be licensed with CC BY 3.0 but if the user 
unchecks the box then they'll retain full copyright for their article.

How did you want this displayed in the UI? What about smaller, italic, gray 
text saying something like, "The author of this post has chosen to retain full 
copyright." You might want to run that past the lawyers.

Maybe just add a tag to the post that says CC-BY or author-copyright?

A tag where? I think it would clutter the post header too much, and a string of 
text would look out of place by the footer icons. What about adding an icon in 
the post footer?

I just meant a tag listed with all the other tags in the post footer. An icon 
in the post footer is probably even better, though.

Whoops, I was getting my terms mixed up - I thought you meant "comment" when 
you were saying "post." Text or icons would look fine for posts. If you want to 
go with icons, what you think about something like this?

Yeah, except smaller and less bold (attention-grabbing), and (of course) not 
hand-drawn.
