Jackcentric:Copyrights
From Jackcentric
The Jackcentric wiki supports the copyleft philosophy, encouraging the ethical sharing of useful information and creative ideas in an active community, rather than the top-down philosophy of copyright law, which assumes a solitary creator of information intellectually isolated from passive users of that information. Storytelling has always been an interactive endeavor. Even Shakespeare borrowed from those who came before him, and the creativity and passion of the audience are inextricably entangled with the success of the professional creators who engage us with their stories. As much as we love the character of Captain Jack, he wouldn't exist without the older myths of the undying soldier and the dancing god.
For that reason, all material in our Help, Jackcentric, Category, MediaWiki, and Template namespaces is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license. In brief, this means you are free to copy, reuse, modify, or redistribute this material for any noncommercial purpose, as long as you do so under the same or a comparable license. For our users and editors, this means do not add anything to these namespaces that you wish to retain control over. This license does not, can not, revoke your moral right to your work, but it does mean that when you hit Save Page, you are granting anyone the right to modify or redistribute your work for any noncommercial purpose, with appropriate credits.
However, the unique nature of this wiki as a fanwork index means that relatively little of the material in the main namespace will be original work. Much of it will be fair use material, such as story quotes and summaries, rearranged into a useful format, where the fair use material contributes substantially to its usefulness. It would be misleading to copyleft these pages, for which Jackcentric's editors have moral and legal rights over only some of the material. The fan community, including Jackcentric, also tends to highly value an author's moral right to hir creative work and the evolution of public and sometimes personal identity through creative work. For those reasons, material in the Main, User, Talk, and File namespaces is not licensed for redistribution, modification, or reuse in any form. In some cases, permission for such use may be granted, but you will need to contact the individual creator or legal copyright holder of the specific material you want to use to obtain that permission. The placement of material in these namespaces does not alter or abrogate any legal or moral rights the creator or copyright holder of this material would otherwise have.
