What's the protocol when charging for adding content to a Creative Commons web template for clients? Specifically CC Attribution-Share Alike - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Lets say I want to charge my clients for populating Creative Commons templates for them. The client pays me for my services - which include integrating their content into the template, editing and adding their photos, uploading it, DNS config. All original template credits/backlinks are left intact. This is all OK right? What (if any) legal notices need to go on my "cheap sites based on Creative Commons templates" page?
The only charge will be for adding my clients' content to the templates ("my services")... Any customization to the templates will be done "free of charge", because it's against the terms of the CC license to charge for modifying the templates.
i think it is FTP. but i am not sore, you can take the help of any website.it can solve the problem in few bucks.
If you are doing customisations of any kind for a client there is no restrictions under CC guidelines against charging for your work. If you take a CC work, modify it and redistribute it, the derivative work must be released under CC or "similar or compatible" licencing schema. If I buy a car, and give it to a friend on the condition that he give it to someone else for free when he's done using it, the guy who paints the car in the interim still gets paid for his work. But my friend couldn't move the car on and then change the terms of the agreement because he paid for some changes to be made to the car. Frank
That license is no way preventing you modify the codes as long as you maintain the author's credits. You can also put your credit under "Modified By" label. To play safe, you can put a note on your site that you are modifying the codes and redistributing it under the same Creative Commons License keeping the original author's credit.
