Contributors' rights and obligations

If you contribute material to the Crossroads Wiki, you thereby license it to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike License. In order to contribute, you must be in a position to grant this license, which means that either

• you hold the copyright to the material, for instance because you produced it yourself, or
• you acquired the material from a source that allows the licensing under the same licence.

In the first case, you retain copyright to your materials. You can later republish and relicense them in any way you like. However, you can never retract the Creative Commons license for the copies of materials that you place here; these copies will remain under Creative Commons license forever.

In the second case, if you incorporate external Creative Commons licensed materials, you need to acknowledge the authorship and provide a link back to the network location of the original copy.

Using copyrighted work from others

All works are copyrighted unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed. If you use part of a copyrighted work under "fair use", or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates).

Never use materials that infringe the copyrights of others. This could create legal liabilities. If in doubt, write it yourself.
