03 / Website use cases
Where to use public media license note
Photos under Creative Commons licences must be credited, and the licence must be named and linked. Typing the credit by hand under every image is easy to get wrong: the link to the licence goes missing, the order varies and changes go unmentioned. Public media license note builds the credit from the Media Library file and the fields you fill in, in the order Creative Commons recommends: title, creator, source and licence.
Museums and archives
Mark public domain images clearly.
Licensed stock
Note photos used with permission.
