  "@context": "https://schema.org/",
  "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"
}

License as CreativeWork#

    "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0",

License as SPDX URL#

  • Use a simple URL

  • SPDX creates URLs for many licenses including those that don’t have URLs

  • From a source that harvesters can rely on (e.g. use URL to lookup more information about the license)

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org/",
  "license": "https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-4.0"
}

OR, include both the SPDX and the Creative Commons URLs in an array:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org/",
  "license": ["https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-4.0", "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"]
}
