Re: CC license viewer inclusion in epiphany-extensions



IMHO it is better to just show a "CC" icon for every kind of license
instead of showing all the license's features as icons.

The reason is that users can easily associate the CC icon with a
Creative Commons license and then, if they're interested in reading
the license details, they just have to click on the CC icon to read
the license deed. I don't like to have an overcrowded statusbar, so a
single icon can do the trick.

What do the rest of the developers think about this?

I've not tried any of them (yet), but looking at the screenshot for the
corresponding Firefox extension [1] it seems to display icons for type of
license too (in this case BY/requires attribution). I think that would be a
nice feature to add, as it makes it easier to see what kind of license at a
glance, for those interested. Just a thought.
