Revision as of 06:52, March 9, 2023
, 06:52, March 9, 2023→The language of this copyright is vague, and a license with clearer language should be used.: new section
::Greg, how do you know that "Conservapedia receives a nonexclusive license"? You're more deeply involved in this than me, so I'm sure it's there somewhere, but I couldn't find anything like this. Thanks. --[[User:JustinD|JustinD]] 14:43, 24 April 2012 (EDT)

:::I've just noticed that [[Conservapedia:Copyright]] states that "you" (presumably users?) "irrevocably consent to the display, copying, reuse or editing of your information, edits and entries, with or without attribution." So I suppose that's plausibly a granting of a license, though I think it should probably be clearer. --[[User:JustinD|JustinD]] 21:07, 7 May 2012 (EDT)

== The language of this copyright is vague, and a license with clearer language should be used. ==
If you don't require sharing under the same license but still want users to cite the source, you can use the CC BY license, which allows commercial or non-commercial use of the text, as long as it is credited with a link to the source. If you don't want to allow commercial use, but show any non-commercial use with a link for credit, you can use CC BY NC. If you want to allow any use without attribution (public domain), you can use CC0. Wikipedia and some other websites don't allow copying the content of this website, as the text of the license is ambiguous and also allows the revocation of the license at the discretion of the site owner. If a more standard license was used, the content (especially the less political content) on this website could be reused in more places.
