Hi All,

I have been getting a lot of confused questions from faculty about the CC licensing that appears throughout their sites.

There is confusion about the individual page/post cc licenses versus the site wide license determined in the settings>writing. Many faculty change the CC licensing in settings but do not see it reflected on pages because they are not aware that each page/post have its own CC licensing options. Moreover, most faculty have reported that they do not like the CC licensing on every page/post - it makes it feel cluttered and most people just want to have a sitewide license.

Some possible tweaks to clear up confusion:

- Retain the page/post individual licensing but make hidden/off by default (defering to sitewide license) unless someone changes it to activate a different CC license than site-wide
- Upon site creation, Have CC license widget automatically added to sidebar or footer area displaying the CC license chosen during site creation.
