Forum:MagCloud for CC-NC-SA

The Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial Share alike license, which is used for GuildWiki and probably other wikia wikis, is - I believe, incompatable with the new MagCloud extension. The purpose of a non-commercial license is that nobody can sell the work. However, MagCloud will make a profit out of the sale of content in this way.

Adverts on pages are, it is generally accepted, an exception to this rule, as they help fund the hosting of the content, whilst, I'm sure, part of the deal with Wikia and MagCloud is that Wikia gets some of the profits, this is not sufficient to break the entire license, and indeed the original terms of the licence. At no point before the deal were editors informed that their content would be sold. Whilst the CC-BY-SA license that most wikia wikis use can be sold in this way, as there is no non-commercial clause, NC-SA must not be used in this way.

Please disable this extension for wikis using a CC-NC-SA license Random Time  08:24, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
