Please add some sort of standardized formatting for credits and sharing options. There will be commercial material which needs copyright info and there will be creative commons licensing and and and.... These are complicated things that most of us mere mortals really don't understand very well.

Regardless, there has to be a way to track where something came from and how it can be shared. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people making honest mistakes in content usage when we start mish-mashing campaigns. Let's just appease the lawyer types so they stay out of our way.

This can get crazy as portrait artists, map makers and writers should all be recognized appropriately somehow.

That all said, I'd also like a way to easily hide this particular information as well. It's totally irrelevant to my gaming sessions so I don't want to normally see it; but it's essential to my campaign building where I'll want to check references and track down similar materials.
 
I've been putting that information into the Mechanics section as the first topic and probably the Realm start point thing would be a good spot for it as well. Hiding it seems a bit irrelevant, though, since any given topic is only going to really get visited when needed, after all. So if I'm looking at my topics listing and see on for, say, "Introduction" then my eyes will immediately skim right over it. That start point thing seems a bit hidden already, though, if that helps, and maybe that's what it's intended use if for?
 
+1, but this does definitely require a level of thought that I'm sure the LWD folks are working through with publishers as they are negotiating how to publish their content.

Good idea to put the published material details into its own topic, which could support author/illustrator information, license details, and links to publisher site/amazon/rpgnow/etc. Would make a good default topic type in the mechanics reference.
