Wikiversity:Copyright issues
From Wikiversity
Wikiversity content must be under a free license, such as the GFDL or an equivalently free license (see Wikiversity:Copyrights).
If you find material on Wikiversity that is a possible copyright violation (in other words, if it exists elsewhere under a non-equivalently-free license) then it needs to be flagged as such and brought immediately to the attention of Wikiversity custodians.
- Tag the material as being a potential copyright violation using the {{db-copyvio}} template, with the following parameters:
- {{db-copyvio|url=http://www.SOURCE}}
- Bring this material to the attention of custodians at Wikiversity:Request custodian action
To use any material where the licensing is unfree or unclear, the author(s) must give their consent to its use. They must give explicit permission for this material to be used not simply on Wikiversity, but under the terms of the GFDL. This declaration of consent needs to be sent from the author (or forwarded from the author) to permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org. When this email is received, the material can then be tagged by someone with OTRS access, using the {{ConfirmationOTRS}} template, with the following parameters:
- {{ConfirmationOTRS|source=http://www.SOURCE|otrs=OTRS ticket number>}}
