Creative Commons branch of Sugar + Journal

[Asheesh Laroia]

I've been working behind the scenes on some changes to Sugar and the 
Journal that allow storing and modifying Creative Commons license 
metadata.  It's pretty rudimentary, and it's more of a demo than code that 
should be merged the way it is, but I'd love to have some feedback on it.

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Creative_Commons#How_to_try_it is some info. 
To summarize here:

* http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3529 is a ticket with the history of this

* http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/paulproteus/journal-activity.git;a=summary 
is the gitweb of my Journal branch

* http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/paulproteus/sugar.git;a=summary is the 
gitweb of my Sugar branch

To make this go:

1. Install the liblicense RPM at 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cctools/liblicense-0.4-1.i386.rpm 
(forcing the dependencies, for now; I'll build an updated RPM soon).

2. In your jhbuild (or what have you), pull my changes from my git 
repository.

Sugar first:

git remote add asheesh git://dev.laptop.org/users/paulproteus/sugar.git
git fetch asheesh
git merge asheesh/master

Then the Journal:

git remote add asheesh git://dev.laptop.org/users/paulproteus/journal-activity.git
git fetch asheesh
git merge asheesh/master

3. Then build, and run!

I'd like feedback (mostly from laptop.org'ers, but anyone else is fine 
too!) about the UI, the implementation, the bugs, the data store 
interactions, and so forth.

You'll find that my additions are technically fairly simple.  The major 
difficulties, I think, will be working out the UI for this, which is 
something that I am not comfortable with, and maybe thinking through the 
right way to make this accessible to other activities (data store usage).

Please, please reply with either "I need more instructions getting it 
going" or "I got it going and have this to say".  I want feedback!

Cheers!
