Color code
Colors play an essential role in ColorIURIS by quickly informing the visitor of a website about the copyright policy that the website owner has established.
The meaning of the colors not only depends on the tone, but also on its location. This way, the ColorIURIS icons are composed by 2 differentiated parts:
- A. Informs about the assignment policy of the transformation right.
- B. Informs about the assignment policy of the copyright, distribution right and public communication rights.
Both A and B areas, inform about their corresponding policy by using a color code that includes red, yellow, green and blue colors. Discarding blue, that will be considered later, the general rule to interpret the color is that it shows how restrictive is the corresponding policy, ranging from red (more restrictive) to green (less restrictive), being yellow the intermediate point.
Therefore, in case of the assignment policy of copyright, distribution right and public communication rights (area B), the following options will exists:
- Green means for commercial and non-profit use.
- Red means for non-profit use only.
In case of assignment policy of transformation right (area A), the following options will exists:
- Green means for commercial and not-profit use.
- Yellow means for non-profit use only.
- Red means that no derivative works (except the legal exceptions) are allowed.
Special colors
Blue color that we have not included previously has a special meaning. It indicates that the author has included a clause that forces you to yield in the same terms any derivative work (Transfer in chain).
Thus, when the area a (right of transformation) is green or yellow and includes transfer in chain: the result will be blue. Finally, we would have two options that include this clause and do not follow exactly the general rule of colors, which would be:
- Blue completely means transfer of the copyrights, distribution, public communication and transformation with or without spirit of profit + transfer in chain.
- Yellow completely there means transfer of the copyrights, distribution, public communication and transformation without spirit of profit (not commercial uses) + transfer in chain.
