Description

I would really like to see that Free Cultural Work badge again. Seeing that my choice does not compose a "Free Cultural Work" encourages me to rethink my choices and opting to create a Free Cultural Work feels good. Used to be a great nudge!

Additional context

Apparently had once been implemented via f5a2416.

Implementation

  • I would be interested in implementing this feature.

This issue has been discussed by the team after #87, and the decision was to provide a description of what constitutes "Free Cultural Work" in the Help section (What is a Free Culture License?), but not to add the "Free Cultural Work" badge on the Chooser License card.

I have recently contributed to the discussion at said issue #87 with the following comment:

I find it very unfortunate that by now you have opted to completely remove the "Free Cultural Works" designation, not only from the sidebar but also from the help section (#441, #443, 117d4c2). I had hoped a more balanced approach would be taken when weighing simplicity against teaching about the public commons. The NC and ND restrictions do make a difference and we have come a long way to make this recognition.

I don't really see how the mere statement "this is a good/recommended/free license" considerably increases the mental load. And to me as a educator, it feels like there's some change in direction and I'm loosing my backup. Whereas previously I could point to CC and say "look, they also recommend this", CC does not differentiate them, although the 4.0 discussions around these concerns concluded with the following:

CC has decided to keep the NC licenses under the CC name. However, we will be improving messaging and information around the use and meaning of NC.

Therefore, I would like to re-open this issue and hope that you consider adding the badge again.
