Indeed, or just add a little line to your copyright page. Example, this is what we do:
Code:
<p>Published under the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0. <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a></p>
Or in a few books we also add in the CC "button":
Code:
<p>Published under the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0. <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a></p>
<div class="center"><img alt="CC-BY" height="112" src="../Images/cc-by.png" width="320" /></div>
You can use this form to figure out which type of CC would work well for you:
https://creativecommons.org/choose/
For example, using the dialogs, I was able to generate figure out this CC3.0: "Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported":
https://creativecommons.org/licenses...3.0/deed.en_US
This means:
- Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).
- Noncommercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes.
- No Derivative Works — You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.
You can also get an SVG/EPS/PNGs of all of the different CC "buttons" here:
https://creativecommons.org/about/downloads
If you want, just let me know which CC3.0 is applicable to your book/document, and I would not mind generating a PNG for you to use in your EPUB. Or you can just use those pre-built ones (I prefer more flexibility in output size).
In EPUB, you cannot really STOP anyone from printing/copying/editing/pirating the EPUB, but you can only hope they respect the Creative Commons you choose.
You can also use the Sigil Metadata Editor:
http://web.sigil.googlecode.com/git/.../metadata.html
to add in some information in the "Rights" metadata (although rarely anybody ever looks there, and not many programs even use that metadata).
