An experiment on Creative Commons attribution license violations on Flickr images revealed the attribution license violation rate on the web to be around 70-90%. Therefore, it can be argued that we need tools and techniques to enable the reuse of web content in a policy aware manner. Semantic Clipboard is a realization of such a tool. This tool can be used to transfer provenance and license metadata in a completely transparent manner. When mashing up content from several different sources a suitable license is calculated depending on the constraints of the component licenses.
