Forum content license
|
||
=====================
|
||
|
||
All the content contributed to the Nimrod Forum is `cc-wiki (aka cc-by-sa)
|
||
<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/>`_ licensed, intended to be
|
||
**shared and remixed**. In the future we may even provide all this data as a
|
||
convenient data dump.
|
||
|
||
But our cc-wiki licensing, while intentionally permissive, does **require
|
||
attribution**::
|
||
|
||
**Attribution** — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by
|
||
the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse
|
||
you or your use of the work).
|
||
|
||
Let us clarify what we mean by attribution. If you republish this content, we
|
||
require that you:
|
||
|
||
* **Visually indicate that the content is from the Nimrod Forum**. It doesn’t
|
||
have to be obnoxious; a discreet text blurb is fine.
|
||
* **Hyperlink directly to the original post** (e.g.,
|
||
http://forum.nimrod-lang.org/t/186)
|
||
* **Show the author names** for every post.
|
||
* **Hyperlink each author name** directly back to their user profile page
|
||
(e.g., http://forum.nimrod-lang.org/profile/Araq)
|
||
|
||
By “directly”, we mean each hyperlink must point directly to our domain in
|
||
standard HTML visible even with JavaScript disabled, and not use a tinyurl or
|
||
any other form of obfuscation or redirection. Furthermore, the links must not
|
||
be `nofollowed
|
||
<http://googleblog.blogspot.com.es/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html>`_.
|
||
|
||
This is about the spirit of fair **attribution**. Attribution to the website,
|
||
and more importantly, to the individuals who so generously contributed their
|
||
time to create that content in the first place!
|
||
|
||
Feel free to remix and reuse to your heart’s content, as long as a good faith
|
||
effort is made to attribute the content!
|
||
|
||
Content previous to the forum license change of
|
||
http://forum.nimrod-lang.org/t/186 remains under the original authors'
|
||
copyright, and therefore you cannot reuse it.
