Jaime Frutos Morales developed an extension for the the [http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/ Epiphany web browser] for the [http://gnome.org Gnome desktop] which detects embedded license metadata.  If license information is detected the extension adds a (CC) icon to the status bar.  Clicking the icon opens the license deed in the browser.
