[WG: I18N & L10N] Managing copyright types at Sakai (SAK-17692 and SAK-16892)

[Alex Ballesté]

I agree with David. This solution will help to customize the copyrights 
based on the laws of each country.

Thanks.

>          As it has been stated, setting up all the text in sakai.properties is not a good idea because, depending on the country, this could lead to the inclussion of too much string in this file. However, some configuration will be needed. These parameter will be:
>
> # Directory where copyright detailed descriptions will be stored (this is similar to what we do for skins repository)
> copyright.directory = /library/copyright
> # Copyright types available in each installation
> copyright.types.count = 6
> copyright.types.1 = public_domain
> copyright.types.2 = hold_copyright
> copyright.types.3 = have_permission
> copyright.types.4 = not_determined
> copyright.types.5 = use_below
> copyright.types.6 = fair_use
>
>          Then, in copyright.directory has to exist two set of files:
> a) Files named  copyright.types_XX.properties containing copyright types descriptions. For example:
> In English copyright.types.properties
>
> public_domain=Material is in public domain.
> hold_copyright=I hold copyright.
> have_permission=I have obtained permission to use this material.
> not_determined=Copyright status is not yet determined.
> use_below=Use copyright below.
> fair_use =Material is subject to fair use exception.
>
> In Spanish: copyright.types_es.properties
>
> public_domain=El material es de dominio público.
> hold_copyright=Yo tengo el copyright.
> have_permission=Tengo permiso para utilizar este material.
> not_determined=Copyright sin determinar
> use_below=Utilice el siguiente copyright.
> fair_use = El material es fair use exception.
>
> b) Optionally, files named copyright.types_XX.html, explaning license details.
> public_domain_fr.html
> public_domain_ca.html
> public_domain_es.html
> etc.
>
>          S2U group can work into this but before to develop a patch we would like to know if you agree with this solution and get your feedback before to continue dthe development process.

>          Thank you very much in advance.
