Question to Mike Linksvayer of Creative Commons

Posted on July 20, 2009 by Chris F. Masse

As a blogger, I don’t care if someone steals my content, and I don’t care if he/she does not cite my fucking name or brand name —as long as he/she links back to Midas Oracle. That way, it tells Google that I am the owner of the content, and it increases my PageRank.

Does one of your Creative Commons licenses tell people to link back? That’s all I need.

UPDATE:

Mike Linksvayer:

CC licenses (since 2004 and excluding non-license public domain tools) allow the licensor to require a linkback. I consider that the main feature of the ‘attribution’ term. See 4(b) of http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode

The easiest way to specify is to fill in the ‘Attribute work to URL’ field in the CC license chooser.
