Long Wiki Edits Thread

Unless otherwise noted, the content of this page is copyrighted and licensed under the same Freedom Software license as Whonix ™ itself. (Why?)

Needs some clarification. DRAFT:

= Wiki =
Only the plain text is licensed. That is, because:

  • The design, html, CSS, javascript (mediawiki) isn’t copyrighted by {{project name}}. It’s used under the license provided by mediawiki / any wiki skins / extensions {{project name}} is using. Anyone interested to use it would be better off acquiring it from the origin/upstream, not from {{project name}}, since {{project name}} does not fork it anyhow.
    This description is kept generic. The actual current license (version) of mediawiki is deliberately kept unmentioned. That is to avoid inaccuracies and outdated content at a later time. The reader is advised to look up this information from the origin, mediawiki.
  • Illustrative images (Missing Libre Illustrative Images) are not copyrighted by {{project name}}.
  • Some screenshots might be Freedom Software licensed by third parties but still not copyrighted by {{project name}} / under {{project name}} license.

Unless otherwise noted, the text of most {{project name}} wiki pages is [[{{project name short}}:Copyrights|copyrighted]] and licensed under the same Freedom Software [[{{project name short}}:Copyrights#License|license]] as {{project name}} itself. ([[Why_{{project name short}}_is_Freedom_Software|Why?]])

If different licenses are used these are mentioned in every individual page’s wiki source code which can be viewed when using the edit function (Actions → Edit) and/or when downloading [[Offline_Documentation|{{project name wiki source code]]. Additionally this is mentioned in chapter License if this applies to any wiki page.

Nothing changed, Just a more accurate description.

We might want to keep the footer short and have a link to the details in Whonix Copyright chapter Wiki.

Suggestions?
