I claim no ownership to content not created by me.Įdit: Hmmf. As such any editor who do not want his content licensed as such may refrain from editing As detailed in the Copyrights section, the licensing is intended to be changed to CC BY-SA. This policy is detailed on the copyrights pages of those wikisģ. This is achieved by changing the articles imported from Paradoxian to such an extent that they can no longer be considered derivative works. However, due to it being a grey area I'm trying to get the wikis currently under CC BY-NC-SA (Vic2, HoI3, and EU3) to such a state where the licensing can be changed to CC BY-SA like on the CKII and EU4 wikis. The main purpose is to recoup hosting costs. Advertisement is a legal grey area when it comes to non-commercial. Content that cannot be licensed as such includes the wiki logos, as usage of assets used in the logos is licensed to Paradox Wikis by Paradox Interactive in a form that does not allow further sharingĢ. All content that I've created that can be licensed under CC BY-(NC)-SA is licensed as such. I generally use "me" and "the wiki" or "Paradox Wikis" interchangeably seeing as I'm the only owner of Paradox Wikis and the individual wikis within them.ġ. So all content on the wiki is licensed to the wiki, no? Unless I'm somehow misinterpreting the definition of licensing that does appear to me to be the case.
VICTORIA 2 WIKI DESERET LICENSE
I have, along with all the other contributors, licensed content according to the CC, which certainly allows copying with attribution so long as it is in a non-commercial format and the license is continued.Ĭlick to expand.Whenever you edit a page, this is displayed "Please note that all contributions to Victoria 2 Wiki are considered to be released under the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 (see Victoria 2 Wiki:Copyrights for details)".īy releasing content under CC BY-NC-SA one opens it for licensing by any entity, which is how it is licensed to the wikis. The content from the wiki's you copied over is material that the community created fair portions of that content I created and I am quite sure that I haven't licensed content to you as an individual or organization. This leads me to conclude that Site editors are not licensing their content to to you directly. The standard notice on your site says that materials are released under CC-Attribution-ShareAlike. My question is with your application of ownership to content, and with a possible use of your site for revenue. I fully support your right to own a server, a domain, and call the shots on how the wiki works, and so on. This is the case with Paradoxian: Rafiki owns the server, the domain and he has been unresponsive to change. I understand owning and controlling a server and domain. In an ideal world, Paradox would host wiki's for their games, but this hasn't yet occurred. Wikis are an essential part of Paradox gaming. It is great that you are putting time and effort into reviving the wikis.
