Licenses on ThermoWiki.org

All textual content of ThermoWiki.org is released under one of two licenses.

  • The help pages are released into the public domain (PD)

Both licenses allow anyone to re-use the content in any way they choose. This includes charging money for access to the content, distributing it wherever and however they like, and modifying it in any way they see fit. The main differences between the two licenses are these:

  • If you alter GFDL content, your changes must also be released under the GFDL.
  • Any use of GFDL content must include statements that give full credit to all people who have contributed to ithe content. This means you must make reasonable efforts to identify all contributors.

Note: that this is a very basic comparison to highlight the main points. There are other differences that have not been mentioned here. Please seek proper legal advice if you are in any doubt about what you are and are not allowed to do with material released under either license.

How to spot the license

The public domain help pages are all contained within the 'help' namespace. This means that their page titles will all begin Help: (for example Help:Contents). All other content on this site is made available under GFDL.
