Copyright

In regards to the 100th Circle Moon Mage Quest article you posted... At the bottom there is the notice about right to copy, and to note the author.

I propose removing that (and/or an explicit reference) to the copyright of this entire wiki (that you agree to when you edit a page; normally) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ . Please read that and state (on this page) if the contents of that licence suit your desire, and which of my suggestions is ok. (I am ok with keeping you listed as original author, of course). --Callek 23:54, 20 February 2008 (CST)


I am not sure how this messaging thing works, I hope this reaches you. The sentence at the bottom is merely a suggestion and I have no care in the world if they copy it and give me credit but I don't think it is against the rules to suggest they do so.

Having looked at it again I have changed the sentence to:

Copy for your own use and as you see fit.

I am guessing that is acceptable.

I did not mean to imply it was against the rules at all, I was more suggesting either completely removing the line "copy..." or specifically mentioning a real copyright/fair-use document (That Creative Commons one) that can easily hold up in a court, should the need arise. "Copy for your own use and as you see fit" could easily (theoretically) allow me to take it, write a book using that, never give you credit and sell it. I do not claim to be a lawyer, but I try to have an understanding about that stuff. --Callek 23:04, 21 February 2008 (CST)
