Very good. That rounds it out very nicely. I recently did some art
work and also licensed it under creative commons license. You can
use other images that state the license explicitly:<br>
<img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" id="53607bc4-31e7-4935-a52c-054e4486a3d2" height="31" width="88" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part1.05060004.08030901@tampabay.rr.com"> or <img id="licensebutton_slim" alt="Creative Commons License" style="margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:4px; border: 0;" height="15" width="80" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part2.02040504.05070704@tampabay.rr.com"><br>

SignWriting List
<div>September 11, 2013</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Dear SignWriting List Members -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am sure you all know that SignWriting is free to use, and
so are the images on our web sites. It always has been free to
use. But the internet is a strange place sometimes and some
people got worried that maybe SignWriting was not free to
use…Apparently I needed to state it very clearly on our web
sites.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Gerard is a good friend who has helped me place a statement
on our web sites, stating that our images are under the
"Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike 3.0 License" … <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/</a>
… or … <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All this means is that they are free to use….But it states it
in legal talk, on the web… (big smile ;-)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I never realized I needed such a statement, but I am glad to
understand how other web sites do things, so I have now placed
this Creative Commons statement at the bottom of <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://signwriting.org/">SignWriting.org</a>
on the front page. I am hoping this will help ;-)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And I plan to place it on our other web sites too...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Gerard blogged about it on his blog today - Thank you,
Gerard!</div>
