==Why the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 license?==

WikiScuba is based on the idea of the free sharing of ideas. Users of the site add information on the site and '''build''' on information that is already there, so that the guide becomes progressively more and more accurate. Editors also correct mistakes and update information so that the guide is always as up-to-date as possible! The creative commons license that was selected allows just that. It lets you retain ownership of the work you do, while allowing other people to use it, modify it, reuse it, as long as they comply to two conditions:

1- Your contribution should be recognized clearly. That's the "Attribution" part of the lincense's name.
2- They make the resulting work (or the copy of your work) available for everyone to share. That's the share-alike part of the license. Everyone is welcome to use and modify work from wikiscuba as long as they make it freely-available, under copyright law, for others to use as well.

There are also other licenses out there which serve the same purpose. One of these if the GNU FDL (for Free Documentation License), which Wikipedia is licensed under. They both serve the same purpose, but with two small yet important differences:

1- When using work licensed under the GNU FDL, the entire license document has to be carried over with it. That means that if a local dive shop in Uruguay decides to print a page of WikiScuba to distribute to its customers to inform them about a dive site, they would have, to respect the law, to print a mountain of paperwork and give to everyone as well. Under the terms of the CC by-sa license, it suffices to include the statement that WikiPeace is licensed under the CC by-sa (as it already stands at the bottom of every page) and to give the address of the webpage. That's already a lot less trouble and a lot less wasted paper.

2- When using work licensed under the GNU FDL, the resulting work has to be licensed under the exact '''same''' license. That means that if someone makes a website and includes parts of an article from Wikipedia in it, he has to license that resulting work under the GNU FDL and not another license. Under the CC by-sa license, it suffices to respect the conditions of the license, but not the exact license itself.
