What's the copyright concept?
What's wrong with a full copyright?
A full copyright does not allow others to take your work and improve or expand on it. This is a barrier to creativity.
Why should I care?
What about my rights?
Many licenses also also work to preserve your rights. You can require attribution when reused, or not allow it to be used commercially.
What's the best license?
There is no single "best" license. There are many different ones, many of which can be further customized to to suit your needs.
Content guidelines
- It should be easy-to-read for both, young and old, beginners and experts.
- It should be 100% correct English. (I, Osama, may not be able to achieve that, so we're going to need some native English speakers).
- It should be translator-friendly. We'll encourage people to translate it.
- It will be licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
- It should focus on ethics as well as the practical advantages.
Technical details
- The website will be a static HTML (not PHP, Python, etc) with Javascript, CSS and images.
- It should be as much attractive as we can make it.
- It should pass W3 validation test.
