Ylvapedia:Copyrights
The text of Ylvapedia is copyrighted (automatically, under the Berne Convention) by editors and contributors and is formally licensed to the public under one or several liberal licenses. Most of Ylvapedia's text and many of its images are co-licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). Some text has been imported only under CC BY-SA and CC BY-SA-compatible license and cannot be reused under GFDL; such text will be identified on the page footer, in the page history, or on the discussion page of the article that utilizes the text. Every image has a description page that indicates the license under which it is released or, if it is non-free, the rationale under which it is used.
Contributors' rights and obligations
If you contribute text directly to Ylvapedia, you thereby license it to the public for reuse under CC BY-SA. Non-text media may be contributed under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted re-use and re-distribution.
If you want to import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, you can only do so if it is available under terms that are compatible with the CC BY-SA license. You do not need to ensure or guarantee that the imported text is available under the GNU Free Documentation License, unless you are its sole author. 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. If you are the sole author of the material, you must license it under both CC BY-SA and GFDL.
If the material, text or media, has been previously published and you wish to donate it to Ylvapedia under appropriate license, you will need to verify copyright permission through one of our established procedures.If you are not a copyright holder, you will still need to verify copyright permission.
You retain copyright to materials you contribute to Ylvapedia, text and media. Copyright is never transferred. You can later republish and relicense them in any way you like. However, you can never retract or alter the license for copies of materials that you place here; these copies will remain so licensed until they enter the public domain when your copyright expires (currently some decades after an author's death).
If you want to import media (including text) that you have found elsewhere, and it does not meet the non-free content policy and guideline, you can only do so if it is public domain or available under terms that are compatible with the CC BY-SA license. If you import media under a compatible license which requires attribution, you must, in a reasonable fashion, credit the author(s). You must also in most cases verify that the material is compatibly licensed or public domain. If the original source of publication contains a copyright disclaimer or other indication that the material is free for use, a link to it on the media description page or the article's talk page may satisfy this requirement. If you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under compatible terms, you must make a note of that fact (along with the relevant names and dates) and verify this through one of several processes.
Never use materials that infringe the copyrights of others. This could create legal liabilities and seriously hurt Ylvapedia. If in doubt, write the content yourself, thereby creating a new copyrighted work which can be included in Wikipedia without trouble.
Elin uses many free works from other websites. It is the contributors' obligation to check if the media they incorporated into Ylvapedia falls under the CC BY-SA license, and attribute copyright owners appropriately.
The distribution of in-game media (image, animation) is prohibited by Noa(Lafrontier) unless premitted. It is the contributors' obligation to use these resources under fair use.
