SupportedPermissionStatements


Currently LOCKSS supports two permission statements:

1. "LOCKSS system has permission to collect, preserve, and serve this Archival Unit"

or

2. a Creative Commons Licence http://creativecommons.org/license/

What we actually look for to satisfy the CC license is something like this:

<!-- /Creative Commons License -->

    <License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/">
      <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Reproduction" />
      <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Distribution" />
      <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Notice" />
      <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Attribution" />
      <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/DerivativeWorks"/>
    </License>
  </rdf:RDF>
It's a computer-readable version of their license, which is part of what's generated when you fill out their license form here: http://creativecommons.org/license/ to select a license.

Please do NOT just use what is above; you should actually visit the Creative Commons web site to select the appropriate license for your site

It's all in a comment, so it won't get displayed on the web page, but it is parsed by our crawler to determine if we can collect the content or not.
