a button does not license your work in any way. You have to clearly state which license you use. One way of doing that is making the link point to the license, and having an explicit statement "<i>This work is licensed under the ... license</i>" below the work. To ensure that the page is indexed by search engines with the appropriate "usage rights," use <i>rel="license"</i> in the HTML code for link.</div> <h3><span id="AMYMADE.27s_buttons"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="AMYMADE's_buttons">AMYMADE's buttons</span></h3> <p>The following set of buttons were designed by <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.amymade.com/">AMYMADE</a> with the support of the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</a> and represents our official recommendation: </p><p><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:CCBY_black.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/b/bf/CCBY_black.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:CCBYSA_black.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/6/63/CCBYSA_black.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:GFDL_black.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/2/20/GFDL_black.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:GPL_black.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/9/99/GPL_black.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:LGPL_black.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/0/08/LGPL_black.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:PUB_black.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/9/98/PUB_black.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> </p><p><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:CCBY_red.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/e/e9/CCBY_red.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:CCBYSA_red.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/1/1e/CCBYSA_red.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:GFDL_red.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/c/c1/GFDL_red.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:GPL_red.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/1/13/GPL_red.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:LGPL_red.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/9/96/LGPL_red.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:PUB_red.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/f/f5/PUB_red.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> </p><p><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:CCBY_yellow.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/d/d3/CCBY_yellow.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:CCBYSA_yellow.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/2/29/CCBYSA_yellow.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:GFDL_yellow.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/2/27/GFDL_yellow.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:GPL_yellow.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/b/b0/GPL_yellow.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:LGPL_yellow.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/6/66/LGPL_yellow.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/File:PUB_yellow.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="/upload/9/95/PUB_yellow.png" decoding="async" width="87" height="35" class="mw-file-element" /></a></span> </p><p>These buttons are in the public domain.
