Licenses

Licenses — utility functions for Creative Commons licenses

Types and Values

Includes

#include <gst/tag/tag.h>

Description

Provides information about Creative Commons media licenses, which are often expressed in media files as a license URI in tags. Also useful for applications creating media files, in case the user wants to license the content under a Creative Commons license.

Functions

gst_tag_get_license_flags ()

GstTagLicenseFlags
gst_tag_get_license_flags (const gchar *license_ref);

Get the flags of a license, which describe most of the features of a license in their most general form.

Parameters

license_ref

a license reference string in form of a URI, e.g. "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/"

 

Returns

the flags of the license, or 0 if the license is unknown


gst_tag_get_license_nick ()

const gchar *
gst_tag_get_license_nick (const gchar *license_ref);

Get the nick name of a license, which is a short (untranslated) string such as e.g. "CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 UK".

Parameters

license_ref

a license reference string in form of a URI, e.g. "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/"

 

Returns

the nick name of the license, or NULL if the license is unknown


gst_tag_get_license_title ()

const gchar *
gst_tag_get_license_title (const gchar *license_ref);

Get the title of a license, which is a short translated description of the license's features (generally not very pretty though).

Parameters

license_ref

a license reference string in form of a URI, e.g. "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/"

 

Returns

the title of the license, or NULL if the license is unknown or no title is available.


gst_tag_get_license_description ()

const gchar *
gst_tag_get_license_description (const gchar *license_ref);

Get the description of a license, which is a translated description of the license's main features.

Parameters

license_ref

a license reference string in form of a URI, e.g. "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/"

 

Returns

the description of the license, or NULL if the license is unknown or a description is not available.


gst_tag_get_license_jurisdiction ()

const gchar *
gst_tag_get_license_jurisdiction (const gchar *license_ref);

Get the jurisdiction code of a license. This is usually a two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, but there is also the special case of Scotland, for which no code exists and which is thus represented as "scotland".

Known jurisdictions: ar, at, au, be, bg, br, ca, ch, cl, cn, co, de, dk, es, fi, fr, hr, hu, il, in, it, jp, kr, mk, mt, mx, my, nl, pe, pl, pt, scotland, se, si, tw, uk, us, za.

Parameters

license_ref

a license reference string in form of a URI, e.g. "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/"

 

Returns

the jurisdiction code of the license, or NULL if the license is unknown or is not specific to a particular jurisdiction.


gst_tag_get_license_version ()

const gchar *
gst_tag_get_license_version (const gchar *license_ref);

Get the version of a license.

Parameters

license_ref

a license reference string in form of a URI, e.g. "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/"

 

Returns

the version of the license, or NULL if the license is not known or has no version


gst_tag_get_licenses ()

gchar **
gst_tag_get_licenses (void);

Returns a list of known license references (in form of URIs). This is useful for UIs to build a list of available licenses for tagging purposes (e.g. to tag an audio track appropriately in a video or audio editor, or an image in a camera application).

Returns

NULL-terminated array of license strings. Free with g_strfreev() when no longer needed.
