dadaIMC codebase used by Independent Media Centers supports CC

Uncategorized

dadaIMC, a content management system that offer a codebase for the operation of Independent Media Center sites, now supports Creative Commons licenses for users uploading content to the system. There are currently twenty eight Independent Media Center sites that run on dadaIMC.

Independent Media Centers, like the one in Baltimore, are based on a philosophy of open publishing. Their newswire is open to public use, and anyone can post articles, audio, video, or images to the site. The interface for posting media includes
a section for selecting between
copyright, public domain, or any of the Creative Commons licenses. dadaIMC has also innovated to offer a new logo that explicity signals the allowance of derivative works, something our current license engine doesn’t support.
