Talk:Eddie Chuculate

Copyvio tag
The copyvio tag was added because the source, http://www.nativewiki.org/Eddie_Chuculate, is listed as GFDL 1.2. While this may seem counterintuitive, since the licensing transition completed on June 16th this year, we can no longer accept any text licensed under the GFDL only, it needs to be either WP:CC-BY-SA only, or dual-licensed to be both GFDL AND a license compatible with WP:CC-BY-SA. From WP:C: "Furthermore, please note that you cannot import information which is available only under the GFDL. In other words, you may only import text that is (a) single-licensed under terms compatible with the CC-BY-SA license or (b) dual-licensed with the GFDL and another license with terms compatible with the CC-BY-SA license."

The resulting text, while no longer directly resembling the source, has grown organically and probably forms an infringing derivative work, which cannot be kept in its present form.

Possible resolutions:
 * If the NativeWiki authors could be contacted, WP:PERMISSION would be the way forward
 * NativeWiki could change their licensing to GFDL 1.3 and dual licensing, but this is unlikely since the deadline to do so expires on August 1st
 * Rewrite the article from scratch on the temporary supbage.

I suspect the latter is the only practical form, though. MLauba (talk) 09:00, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Article has been rewritten to remove any CV problems. Any similarities which remain are due to subject matter and limited means to express an idea. These do not constitute a copyright infringement. — Cactus Writer |   needles  10:40, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
