Copyright
The content of SacredWiki is licensed freely under the Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported (also called the by-sa license). All contributors retain ownership of any content submitted, but also permanently license the right to use it to SacredWiki. The text of the articles can be copied, modified, and redistributed as long as the new version acknowledges the authors of the article and grants the same freedoms to others.
Ownership and software used
There are many aspects of the ownership of the site:
- The site itself is owned and operated by Brad Cook and Rommel Fernando.
- The copyright of a particular edit is owned by the user who made the edit.
- The site uses two kinds of software:
1) MediaWiki, which is owned by the Wikimedia Foundation.
2) IpbWiki which serves as a "bridge" between DarkMatters and SacredWiki
As it is said below the "Save Page" button of every page, all contributors allow contributions to SacredWiki to be edited, altered, or removed by the community. Please don't submit your content or writing here if you do not want it edited. As a reflection of this, community of SacredWiki has the authority and control over most of the content on SacredWiki, leaving Sysops/Admins with control over certain pages.
Using Materials from SacredWiki
Artwork created by co-owner and designer, Schot(Brad Cook), for SacredWiki.org such as the Map of Ancaria and the Character Set Items are not permitted to be used on other fansites and is strictly created for use on SacredWiki.org only.
If you want to use content from this site, you must abide by the license used by SacredWiki on this site. This entails the following:
- Your materials in turn must be licensed under our by-sa license.
- You must give attribution to the article from which the content was taken.
- You must give access to the page where the content was used.
You may fulfill the last two obligations by directly linking back to the article hosted on the site as well as the history page of the article. Any and all of the above conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder.
