Hi Friends, I've just tested the new link upload feature. Here's the test: https://inkscape.org/en/~brynn/%E2%98%85getting-cmyk-color-from-inkscape-to-...

Everything seems to be working ok. Except I didn't know what to do with the license. How will someone who uploads someone else's tutorial (or other resource) know about its license?

I suppose any written work has a copyright, by the definition of copyright (as far as I understand it). And since I was uploading (a link to) someone else's tutorial, I thought they should have the credit. So I selected full copyright. But the way it looks is sort of like I'm the copyright holder.

Also I wonder if Public Domain, or any other license except for full copyright, should even be available. Or does the fact that a link is being uploaded make license completely irrelevant? (Can a link have a license?)

There is a section in the regular resource upload for Permission (own the work, permission, and no permission), which is missing for the link upload. And I wonder if it should be available. Then I could use "no permission", and that might at least help to indicate who's holding the copyright.

Another issue is the author of the tutorial (or other resource). There's no place to indicate that. I wrote it into the description, but not everyone who uploads a link will do that. I wonder if it needs to have its own field, like the title -- especially since we're uploading something written by someone else (a link to it, I mean). That would go even further to make clear about the license. (If a link can have a license.)

Just some thoughts. :-) And thanks for the new feature!!

All best, brynn
