All contributions to the lensowiki are the property of the submitter unless otherwise noted (for example; the submitter may be posting public domain text or other text they were given permission to copy, modify and republish under our copyright terms). All content is considered to be released under the following terms unless otherwise indicated (for example; a clearly-marked quotation):
- Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".
By clicking "Save page" you are indicating you grant the lensowiki a license to use your work under terms of the above bolded text. If you do not agree with these terms, then do not submit your work to this website.
Images
Please note that only text that you find on this site is made available under the GFDL. Images, however, are not released on these terms. Instead, each image is distributed under its own license, as described on the image's respective description page. Images which do not have licenses on their pages are by default copyrighted and stored on the lensowiki for purely archival purposes. The lensowiki does not claim any rights to these images, and as such, cannot grant any rights to these images to its users.
Publication by third parties
You may use the same title as the lensowiki pages but trademark law prevents you from advertising the lensowiki names without our written permission. This does not prevent you from giving lensowiki credit for the work by name; as a matter of fact, we very much appreciate all the credit we can get (this is a separate issue from author credit; see below). But it does legally prevent you from leading your readers to believe that your version of our work is in fact an official lensowiki publication. See below for more.
Use on the Internet
For specifics read: GNU Free Documentation License
- Mention lensowiki as the source (not mandatory; but appreciated)
- Provide a functional link back to the lensowiki page (this satisfies the author credit requirement of our license)
- State that the text is available under the GNU Free Documentation License
- Link to a copy of the GNU FDL license (preferably stored on your own server).
- Your version of the text must be machine readable (meaning you cannot prevent others from copying the text)
