Forum:Licenses

I'm just wondering, if you were to make a humor wiki of some sorts, could you copy content from Uncyclopedia if they have pages on the same topic as your humor wiki as a starting off point? Because it is also hosted on Wikia, but it uses a different license, so I'd like to know the answer for legal reasons. JCM (talk&middot;edits) 03:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Uncyclopedia used the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-commercial-Share Alike 2.0 (CC-by-nc-sa 2.0) licence. "Attribution" means that you must give credit to the authors, "Non-commercial" means that the material can't never be used for commercial purposes, and "Share Alike" means that the material can only be redistributed by wikis that have a similar license. As a result, unless you're using the same exact license, you can't use any material from Uncyclopedia. Sorry, but you may have to come up with original material. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 04:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
