[quote="chatdemon"]Authors: If you want to indicate that your article may be posted or plagiarized wherever by whomever, feel free to add a note in the body of your article. The whole reason for the strict no reposting without permission policy is the unfortunate history of plagiarism and theft of material in the GH community. Re-Users: As has been said before, just ask the author. There's no need for some vague license. If the author is unavailable, they can hardly be expected to opt in to such a thing anyway, right? If you want to create a derivative work based on something on CF, go for it, nothing is stopping you, but if you want to avoid getting flamed, make sure and give credit to the author of the material you're building on, and if possible, a link to the article in question. No need to reinvent the wheel here.[/quote]

Maybe Canonfire could get someone to write a non-commercial licence, similar to the OGL, that allows people to reuse certain content from Canonfire. <br /> <br />That way authors like yourself, could agree on terms similar (if not identical) to the ones you have stated. And some legal blurb explaining that trademarks belonging to Wizards of the Coast are not being challenged. <br /> <br />If that was done then authors could opt-in to the "Canonfire Licence" and a link to the licence could be added to all of their articles (or alternatively only the articles that they are happy to be reused). <br /> <br />(Any authors who don't specifically opt in or who can't be contacted can be assumed to not be consenting to content reuse.) <br /> <br />I would suggest that if you do something like this, you make it a requirement for people to add a hyperlink to the original article onto any web page (or print the URL of the original article in a printed product). That way anyone interested in your material would be able to trace it back to the source and read more about it.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="themes/Canonfire/forums/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>cwslyclgh</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="themes/Canonfire/forums/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2005 11:15 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I freely give you permision to use any of my articles (those written by cwslyclgh) on your website, as long as you <br />a. do not make any money off of my work <br />b. make sure that credit for the work is given to me where it appears (ei. do not take the <span style="font-style: italic">By C.
