Thinking they should be aliased to something less ambiguous, for a couple reasons

• not really obvious what the tags refer to
• there's no by tag, used for attribution only

Suggestion:

by-nd -> cc_by-nd
by-nc-nd -> cc_by-nc-nd
by-nc -> cc_by-nc
by-nc-sa -> cc_by-nc-sa
by-sa -> cc_by-sa

--

I'm also tempted to say that the hyphens should be replaced with underscores, or vice versa:

cc-by
by-nd -> cc-by-nd
by-nc-nd -> cc-by-nc-nd
by-nc -> cc-by-nc
by-nc-sa -> cc-by-nc-sa
by-sa -> cc-by-sa

--

cc_by
by-nd -> cc_by_nd
by-nc-nd -> cc_by_nc_nd
by-nc -> cc_by_nc
by-nc-sa -> cc_by_nc_sa
by-sa -> cc_by_sa

Not sure what the consequences of that would be, in terms of the licence titles

"By" is the kind of thing that might get copied over from Furaffinity tags. I'd suggest against that one.

Good point, alias suggestion cancelled for that

?

creative_commons_(by-nd)?

creative_commons_* is a handful to type out, but it's the most comprehensive name

also works

If we use the creative_commons_* tags, should there be a shortcut alias too?

eg. one of the formats mentioned in this OP, or forum #166619

Oh, didn't see that one. Would've bumped it instead (can still lock this one if you want since the older one is <1 year)

Added both to creative commons

There seems to be a mistake in the wiki article for creative_commons. It lists Public Domain (PD) where there should be CC0. The primary difference is that Public Domain is not legally valid in some countries, whereas CC0 is. CC0 tries to achieve the same intent as Public Domain without the spotty legality. Obviously with the caveat that you won't get full PD-ness in certain countries.

Seems to be some crossed wires there because there -is- a cc0 wiki article, which correctly describes CC0.

cc0 should probably be aliased (to creative_commons(0)? or similar), though -- it has all of 1 post, I'm sure there are more posts than that under CC0 license

Anything being done with these? There's still no cc_by option etc.

Hm, I'm not 100% sure how to handle cc0 in terms of format

• edited the cc0 article
• moved around some stuff in the creative commons article

--
we could maybe do something like cc_0, unless we're spelling cc out

-> creative_commons_(0)

That still leaves the issue of tag shortcuts, if any

cc-by -> creative_commons_(by)

cc-by-nc -> creative_commons_(by_nc)
cc-by-nd -> creative_commons_(by_nd)
cc-by-nc-nd -> creative_commons_(by_nc_nd)

cc-by-nc-sa -> creative_commons_(by_nc_sa)

cc-by-sa -> creative_commons_(by_sa)

--
OR
--

cc_by -> creative_commons_(by)

cc_by_nd -> creative_commons_(by_nd)
cc_by_nc_nd -> creative_commons_(by_nc_nd)

cc_by_nc -> creative_commons_(by_nc)
cc_by_nc_sa -> creative_commons_(by_nc_sa)
cc_by_sa -> creative_commons_(by_sa)

--
Personally, I'd rather we keep the final names of the tags as easy to recognize as possible, with shortcuts still working

cc-by -> creative_commons_(by)

What (the f) is wrong with cc-by?

The official spelling seems to be BY-ND, BY-NC-ND etc with dashes.
For e6, I'd keep CC- prefix. Some people use "CC BY-ND" but that won't look well as a tag.

And by the way, creative_commons_(by) is stupid.
It should be either creative_commons_attribution, or cc_attribution.
Otherwise what's the point, just go with the acronyms.

Those are good points

For later, after we sort these implications/aliases out

floraverse i-> cc_by (or its equivalent)

Changed title from

Creative Commons license tags aliases
