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.
Computer code
In addition, computer code is released under the GPL. Text released under this license can be easily identified by the presence of the following license block preceding it:
- This page contains computer code. Unlike all articles on the lensowiki, which are released under the GFDL, this code is released under the GPL.

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)
