mozCC - Mozilla Creative Commons Extension
by Rattle at 5:13 am EST, Feb 23, 2004

] mozCC is an extension for Mozilla-based browsers,
] including Mozilla Firebird, Mozilla and Netscape, which
] provides a convenient way to examine Creative Commons
] licenses embedded in web pages. It's at least twice as
] good as View Source.
]
] When license RDF is detected, mozCC does two things.
] First, it scans for license information pertaining to
] the current web page and places relevant icons on the
] status bar. Second, it enables a button on the toolbar
] which allows you to explore the parsed licensing
] metadata.

Browsers that understand content licensing are on the way. This type of licensing is great, but I fear the day my browser tells me I can't copy text from a page because I'm not permitted by its license. I have a feeling it will be Microsoft that brings me that nightmare.
