1 Initial Problem
Currently the copyright of an object is only displayed on its Info-tab, and its Metadata-tab. Only the former is available to users without 'Edit Settings' permission. This leads to authors inserting copyright information manually into the content of objects and not into the object's LOM, circumventing all of the OER infrastructure in ILIAS.
2 Conceptual Summary
The page editor offers a 'Copyright Information of Repository Object' component. It displays the copyright information of the current object as it would be on the object's info page. No further configuration is offered.
The component should always display the copyright information of the overarching repository object, and not potential subobjects. For example, on a page in a Learning Module the copyright information of the Learning Module will be shown, and not that of the page. This will make the behavior of the component clearer.
Outside of the context of objects with LOM support, for example on the content page of a Category or in a Portfolio, the component should not be offered at all. The component should also not be offered if copyright selection is not enabled on the installation.
