Title: 'label for reuse' images in gallery for google searches and image rights
Post by: scohen125 on April 24, 2020, 08:35:56 pm

I would like the images from gallery to be 'labeled for reuse' so that if someone does a google image search and filters by usage rights, the images will always come up.  Is there a way to do that inside of Coppermine 1.6? 
My gallery is at: retinagallery.com

All of the images are meant to be non-copyrighted and free for re-use.  I would like to somehow tag them that way so google indexes them.

Thanks,
Steve

A quick search gave me no information about what would need to be done for Google to deem them available for re-use. But I believe it may be as simple as adding a line or some verbiage to your theme header. Perhaps you can work at finding out what is needed.

A little more investigation ...

Following what I see for this image:

You probably just need a Creative Commons license line in your theme header, such as:
