I'm finally putting multiple licence selection into the system.

If anyone wishes I need a list of licenses with a small description and their standard abbreviations.

End user Licence agreement
Extended licence
Video licence

I would also suggest maybe the option for a "custom" licence

Not sure exactly sure what you are asking but the 2 basic image license models are:

Rights-Managed  (RM)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights_Managed

Royalty-Free  (RF)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalty-free


I'm of the belief that license template(s) should be provided which are then customized by each Symbiostock site according to their own image license needs.   Some may want more extensive license terms while others want a KISS license.

Extended License - EL
Standard License - SL
Custom License - CL
Editorial License - ED

Royalty Free - RF
Rights Managed - RM

That should cover it.

The difficulty with Rights Managed or Extended licenses is that they can be quite complex.  For example, a Rights Managed image can be licensed by location, time period, size of audience, size of company, quantity of merchardise using image, etc.

I agree completely.   

I've adopted a much simpler license based on Dan Heller's model.  All the legal mumbo-jumbo in most of the boilerplate licenses is not needed for most uses and could likely scare away many image consumers.

That's the reason I suggest a KISS license template in response to Leo's query.

I am looking for a fair KISS license as mine is way too complicated. Can someone share a good one with me maybe? THanks.

Standard RF
Extended RF
Editorial Licence

Fair Trade    FT   .... or do we even want to talk about that.....

Thanks guys.

Its up to you to put words to these licenses. I'm hoping that it inspires some new ways of doing things

Finally I'm implementing these now.

Its going to be a simple system: Not only can you define licenses, their verbage locations, etc, but can organize where they show on the page, as well as what happens up sale (such as item is taken down from availability)

If you happen to have any feature requests, suggestions, etc, let me know.

$licenses = array(
'CL' => 'Custom',
'SL' => 'Standard',
'EL' => 'Extended',
'ED' => 'Editorial',
'RF' => 'Royalty Free',
'RM' => 'Rights Managed',
'FT' => 'Fair Trade',
);

Very important - please ensure everything is as you pro's would expect.

Hey Leo,

Question.  Will you be able to assign a license image by image?  As in some images are RF and some are RM?

Thanks!

Yep! Flexibility like you've never seen You can assign where it shows on the page, and how many times as well.

Hi Leo, Will you be able to assign a price to the license types, then the customer can choose the type of license they want and the cost is displayed?
