License

<podcast:license>

This element defines a license that is applied to the audio/video content of a single episode or the audio/video of the podcast as a whole. Custom licenses must always include a url attribute. Implementors are encouraged to read the license tag companion document  for a more complete picture of what this tag is intended to accomplish.

Node Value

The node value must be a lower-cased reference to a license “identifier” defined in the companion license list  file if the license being used is a well-known, public license. Or, if it is a custom license, it must be a free-form abbreviation of the name of the license as you reference it publicly. Please do not exceed 128 characters for the node value, or it may be truncated by aggregators.

Attributes

  • url: (optional) This is a URL that points to the full, legal language of the license being referenced. This attribute is optional for well-known public licenses. For new or custom licenses, it is required.
