<licensestatement> (License Statement) Description .UPDATED. .email comment.
Introduced in version 1.10. Documentation updated in version 1.10.1.
Description
This element should be used to capture the license statement when either a CC-BY, CC-BY-NC, or CC-Plus licence is being used, and should include an appropriately populated url attribute and <webaddress> element. If an article is published using a CC-BY or CC-BY-NC licence, the Production Editor will confirm which licence statement should be used, and consequently which URL should be included. For Open Access content the attribute productfree should be set to "openaccess".
For example, for an Open Access article with a CC-BY license the copyright information, Open Access status, and license statement may be tagged as:
<article copyrighttf="no" 
         copyrightowner="&copy; 2013 The Author(s). Published by Taylor &amp; Francis" 
         productfree="openaccess"
         ...

Similar to the above example, for an Open Access article with a CC-BY-NC license the copyright information, Open Access status, and license statement may be tagged as:
<article copyrighttf="no" 
         copyrightowner="&copy; 2013 The Author(s). Published by Taylor &amp; Francis" 
         productfree="openaccess"

Similar to the above example, for an Open Access article with a T&F Own License, also identified as a CC-Plus License, the copyright information, Open Access status, and license statement may be tagged as:
<article copyrighttf="no" 
         copyrightowner="&copy; 2013 The Author(s). Published by Taylor &amp; Francis"
