: Other Wikis embrace, mistakenly in my opinion, the [[copyleft]] approach.  We do not.  As a dual user, I suggest submitting to Conservapedia first because our copyright is less restrictive than other Wikis.  If you submit to other Wikis first, then they might insist that impose the burdensome [[copyleft]] conditions on reuse of that material elsewhere.  We impose no such requirements.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 13:46, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

* Just on the broader point of comparing it to Wikipedia's license...  [[Differences with Wikipedia]] and [[Wikipedia copyright]] both currently say that contributing material to Wikipedia prevents the author from re-using their work elsewhere.  This is manifestly untrue.  By U.S. law, authors automatically own the copyright to their work, and the GFDL has no clauses that reassign copyright ownership to anyone else.       If I write a poem all by myself, license it under the GFDL, and post it to Geocities, then I still own the copyright.  The same holds for Wikipedia.     Wikipedia authors can and do [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multi-licensing multiply-license] their works under other licenses in addition to the GFDL, which can include licenses that are more restrictive than the GFDL.  --[[User:Interiot|Interiot]] 13:57, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

: That's '''not''' correct to the extent your work has been edited on other Wikis.  I don't know if you are right about your unedited original work and what Wikipedia or other Wikis may require as a condition of submission there.  The provisions governing submission on those websites would need to be checked.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 14:09, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
