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

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

Please don't forget the following comment from Matthew Buckett on 
14-Dec-2010 03:56 (you can check 
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17692):

> Resources should store the actual text selected by the user in the database. Doing lookups on the fly means that if the defaults in Sakai change of a deployer changes the wording of their options all *existing* copyright statements are changed.
> 
> If I am a user of Sakai and have chosen a Copyright type I do not want it changed, even if the option I selected in the past is no longer available as an option it should still be shown as the currently selected Copyright.
> 
> I as a deployer of a LMS/VLE don't want to be responsible for changing someone's selected copyright on a file. 

Cheers,

J-F

>>          Hi all,
>>
>>          After discussing this in detail and having to unify the different contributions to this issue, my proposal to manage copyright types and thus get a fix to SAK-17692 and SAK-16892 is the following.
>>
>>          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.
>>
>>            Cheers,
>>                  David
