"License detection & choice of rights" by Michael Schönitzer

When searching for material for my homepage, publications etc. you'll have a problem: the copyright! You can't ask the copyright-holder for all the material you want to use (cause of time) - but a lot of peoples put there work under Licenses like CC, GPL or GFDL - so you can use it legally!
But how/where to find these works?
Therefore I propose two options in the "Advanced search"-Box:
* a license-Combobox where you can choose between "all" and several important licenses
* a Checkbox (Title: "sharing allowed") with that you can enable the following two Comboboxes:
1: commercial use allowed: all, yes, no
2: modifying allowed: all, yes, under same license, no
3: naming the author needed: all, yes, no

This would give the user a perfect control of for what he wants to use the founded things. It would be perfect, if you would make this option also usable in the picture search!

Greetings to all and a lot of thanks to the Exalead-makers,
Michi

Hello,
Exalead is really great - but so many peoples don't know about it. (At least in Munich, Germay)
So, I think you should make more and better PR.
Some examples:
*One of the most famous IT-Newspage in Germany is heise.de - they have there news about every little nothing - but there had just been one article about Exalead. There had been no article about your new Design and about you reached an indexsize of 8 Billion ...
*suchfibel.de lists hundreds of search engines - but not exalead! There are also search-engines-news - but none about Exalead.
*I had been writing big parts of the (German + English) Wikipedia article about Exalead. But I could make it much better if I could use the Exalead Symbols (had not found if I'm allowed to do) and if you would give some more Informations about exalead (I already have watched corporate.exalead.com).

So, this are my impressions,
Michi
