Add license for recordings #1053

Open danimo opened 8 years ago

A event / track / program (granularity TBD) should have the information which license the recordings should carry.

Additionally, per event the speaker should have the option to opt-out of recording/streaming.

The organizers and recording toolchains can make use of that.

I think that's related to the conference on its whole, ie all recordings of X conference will be under Y license, and the license will be the same for all talks/tracks. Doesn't that make sense?

@differentreality Pragmatically I tend to agree, if it weren't for some odd folks who make a different license a condition for them speaking. Other examples may be performances with music that are not compatible with the primary license of the conference.. That's why FRAB (and the XML we generated) has it as a per-track item. I don't say that this is something you should cater for, just that this issue exists. Otherwise I agree that its a conference property.

We would rather have each event speaker be able to specify if they're willing to be recorded and what license the recording would take. Perhaps this should be done as more generic custom event questions rather then hard coding specific questions.

I wonder how practical it is for organizers to release different videos of the conference talks under different licenses, as per speaker's desire.

If this is a custom question, then it is difficult to automatically export this particular information as part of the event itself, eg like described above for the XML export.

Perhaps organizers can set a variable with the licenses they want to support (so that we don't add everything there) and there is a field that lets the speakers select the license they desire.

One of the options can be 'opt-out', first license is the one the organizers wish to have, the others are extra license options for the speakers. A hint can indicate that license X is what organizers prefer 'Please leave option X, if you don't have a strong preference'
