Reply to question on Social Stories article
Replying here, since the talk page for Social Stories is orphaned and could be deleted.

The copyright bit is tricky. It's not enough for the material to be "permitted" to be used on Wikipedia. If you are the copyright holder, by submitting the work to Wikipedia, you would agree to submit your work under the GNU Free Documentation License-not just for use here, this would allow use by anyone who follows the GFDL's terms. If this is acceptable to you, you should place on the external webpage (the one you're copying text in from) that you as the copyright holder agree to the GFDL licensing. (This would only be required for the copied page, not the whole website.) You'd then want to place a pointer to that release on the article's talk page, making clear that you are the author (or current copyright holder) and have placed the GFDL release on that page.

Deletion of content which lacks such a notice is for the submitter's protection as much as Wikipedia's. If the submitter is not the copyright holder, they could end up liable for infringement. On the other hand, when the submitter -is- the copyright holder, they may be posting content without the full realization that this would release it, irrevocably and perpetually, under the GFDL.

Also, please do realize that as I have Asperger's syndrome myself, it is certainly not my intent to be insensitive to those with autism. :) However, for you and your company's protection as well as Wikipedia's, it's best to make sure everyone involved is on the same page.

If you'd like, I can also look up some sources on the subject and write it in my own words. (Your site would certainly be one such source.) Please let me know if you'd like to go that route and I'll get started. Seraphimblade 03:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
You are very kind. I will tweak it a bit and hopefully that will handle the situation. Thanks.
