Revision as of 16:13, 24 April 2002
The goal of Misplaced Pages is to create information that is available to everyone. The realities of modern copyright law demand that we pay attention to legal issues to ensure that our work can be made available, and to protect the project from legal liability.
Respecting other copyrights
Misplaced Pages must not contain any material that violates the copyrights of others. Please do not put copyrighted material into Misplaced Pages without permission. Works in the public domain can be used freely; works from copyrighted sources that grant permission for use can often be used as well, but additional steps may be required such as crediting the original author. If you obtain permission to use a copyrighted work, please note that fact (along with names and dates) in the talk page of the article.
If you find copyrighted material here that does not appear to be used with permission, remove the content, and put an explanation in the talk page. An administrator may remove the content permanently if appropriate. If you are not sure, check the existing talk page of the article in question to see if there is discussion there about legal issues.
