the plugin.After activating the plugin, head to Settings > Creative Commons to set up the default license.
Selecting a license is simple. Select one from the given CC licenses, by default CC BY-SA license is used.
There are multiple options available for the license. You can add:
There are two options to display the default license, as a widget or in the footer. We recommend using the widget for better theme compatibility.
After selecting the widget go to Appearance > Widgets and drag the CC License Widget to the required area. The widget will then display the default license on all pages of the site.
The plugin adds specific Gutenberg blocks for each Creative Commons license. If you are using the default Gutenberg editor, you will find these blocks under a separate category.
These blocks can be used to license any page/post/image or other media.

license.txt
(GPLv2 or later License)This plugin is loosely based on an existing, but seemingly abandoned WordPress plugin named 'License' (a component of the MIT Educational Collaboration Space project) by mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine) and Brett Mellor. We're also inspired by Creative Commons' original wordpress-cc-plugin written by former Creative Commons CTO Nathan Yergler.
