SurveyWiki:Copyrights

This page explains how contributions to SurveyWiki are licensed and what you may submit. It is linked from the notice shown under the edit box.

Open content

Text in the open namespaces (Main, Help, Project, Template, Category and similar) is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license (CC BY-SA 4.0).

In short, this means the text may be copied, adapted and redistributed, provided that:

• the original authors are credited (the page history lists the contributors), and
• any adapted version is shared under the same license.

By saving an edit to an open namespace, you agree to release your contribution under this license.

Restricted (internal) content

The Admin: and Internal: namespaces, together with their talk namespaces, are not covered by the open license above.

• Content in these namespaces is internal to SurveyWiki and authorised users. It is not released under any public license.
• It must not be copied, published or shared outside the authorised group without written permission from SurveyWiki.
• Pages in these namespaces display the notice "For internal use only. Not for external distribution." and a different copyright warning under the edit box.

Only people with the appropriate access can read or edit these namespaces. Do not move or copy restricted content into open namespaces.

What you may submit

• Your own work, or material you have the right to submit.
• Short quotations with clear attribution to the source.
• Do not submit material copied from copyrighted sources without permission (including standards, client documents and drawings), unless its license allows it.

Your contributions are attributed to your account and stored permanently in the page history. Other users may edit or remove them.

Images and uploaded files

• Every uploaded file needs a source and a license stated on its description page.
• Files used from Wikimedia Commons keep the license shown on their Commons page.
• Files used only on pages in restricted namespaces are treated as internal and follow the rules in the section above.

Copyright concerns and takedown

If you believe content on this wiki infringes your copyright or discloses material you own, contact [email protected]. Infringing content will be removed.

Disclaimer

Content is provided as is, without warranty. Contributions may be edited, moved or deleted by other users and by administrators.
