I’m happy to announce the release of cc-license-viewer 1.1.0 for Epiphany, the GNOME Web browser. It is capable of detecting Creative Commons licensed web pages either with rdf meta data or with the license badge from creativecomons.org and displaying an icon on the status bar.
This is a modified version of cc-license-viewer released by Jaime Frutos Morales. Jaime Frutos Morales extension is not capable of detecting web pages with the Creative Commons license badge.
You can download the extension cc-license-viewer-1.1.0.tar.gz
Follow the steps bellow to install the extensionn. I’m assuming you have already installed epiphany and epiphany-extensions.
Step 1 – Download the extension archive
$ wget http://www.mohanjith.net/downloads/gnome/epiphany/extensions/cc-license-viewer/cc-license-viewer-1.1.0.tar.gz
Step 2 – Extract the extension archive to epiphany extensions directory
$ cd /usr/lib/epiphany/2.20/extensions/ $ tar -xzvf [Location_to_archive] .
Step 3 – Restart epiphany and enable CC extension
Goto Tools -> Extensions and then select the check box against Creative Commons license viewer.
Step 4 – Goto Creative Commons page
Goto a CC licensed page, e.g. http://creativecommons.org
My next plan would be to extend the functionality of this extension such that more informative icon is shown at the status bar. For the time beign have fun with this extension.
