Licensing provides an abstract base class for Django models that contain licensable content. It provides descriptions and localizations of Creative Commons licenses, but any license could be added.
The characters in the symbols fields of the provided Creative Commons licenses are intended to be displayed with this Creative Commons icons font: http://pfefferle.github.io/openwebicons/#cc-icons
Add "licensing" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'licensing', )
Run python manage.py syncdb to create the licensing models.
