| - | ==Introduction==
| + | |
| - | All articles and images contained in WikiPeace are protected under copyright. Now don't run away! Hold on, it's not as scary as it looks. Below are answers to some questions one might have about licensing, its nature, the terms of the license used for WikiPeace, the implications for the users and its compatibility with other available licenses. Links to relevant documentation are also included.

| | | | |
| - | ==What should I do differently, now that I know WikiPeace is protected under copyright?==
| + | 5vY6Zx Thanks for the article post.Really thank you! Cool. |
| | | | |
| - | Nothing! All you have to do is to keep in mind that when you write an article or upload an image on WikiPeace, you agree to it being protected under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 license. You don't have to press any extra buttons and you don't have to sign anything. You don't need to sign up, you don't need to write to us to let us know of anything... Just have fun and contribute to WikiPeace.

| + | 2gS0Tw Major thankies for the post.Thanks Again. Want more. |

| - | Summary of terms of license go here.
| + | kq93aS I was recommended this website by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my difficulty. You're wonderful! Thanks! |

| - | ==So does it change anything to me that I agree to this copyright license?==
| + | mROpQP I relish, lead to I found exactly what I was having a look for. You've ended my four day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye |
| | | | |
| - | Most probably no, but in certain cases, yes! By agreeing to the details of the license, you agree that anyone is free to use your work, i.e. the actual words you wrote down or the images you uploaded without paying you. What they have to do is to display clearly the web address of the Wikiscuba site and the copyright notice. So if you're a professional photographer, you might want to think twice about uploading those valuable pictures that you might want to sell in the future. Once the pictures are licensed, they are available to people. You can stop offering the images, i.e. you could delete all the images on the article, but anyone who would have acquired a copy of those images under the terms of this license has the right to use them. But if you never plan to make money from those particular images, then really, there's no problem. Text is treated in exactly the same way.

| - | ==Why the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 license?==
| + | JA0sgS like to read it afterward my links will too. |
| | | | |
| - | 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:
| + | 8PGkRA Wow, fantastic weblog structure! How lengthy have you been running a blog for? you make blogging look easy. The entire glance of your site is great, let alone the content material! |
| - | | + | |
| - | 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.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==Can we use double licenses?==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Short answer: Yes. Unfortunately, it's quite cumbersome and I'll therefore get into this later. For the infancy of the project, it would be great if you guys didn't. Later on, we can deal with the problem.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==So what the hell can I do?==
| + | |
| - | '''If you want to post on WikiPeace'''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Go ahead! Just post any information relevant to the project that you may have and that you want to share. Just remember that such information, whether text and images, are then freely available to anyone who wants to use it.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''If you want to distribute or use information from WikiPeace somewhere else than at www.wikiscuba.org/...'''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Go ahead! Print it! Copy it! E-mail it! The only detail you should remember is to ensure the copyright statement is evident (as it is at the bottom of the page) and to include the web address of the website.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==Points to clarify==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The text of the license states:
| + | |
| - | "You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this License, a later version of this License with the same License Elements as this License, or a Creative Commons iCommons license that contains the same License Elements as this License (e.g. Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 Japan)."
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Is this sufficient to ensure one-way compatibility with the GFDL?
| + | |
| - | Does it ensure backward compatibility within the CC licenses (can 1.0 licensed material contain 2.5 licensed material)?
| + | |
