SGCommand:Copyright permission

When someone creates a "work of art" which includes original writing, drawings or photographs, they automatically have the copyright to that work. A copyright is the ownership [to be filled in]. This make it so that people can benefit from the work they do to make the creations. The creator can give other people permission or licensing to use that work.

Everything on this site is licensed for free use by others. So, when you put your own creations on the wikicities, including this Stargate Command, you are giving permission for others to use it freely. Before you put something someone else created here, you need to make sure it is ok with them. And so the rest of us know that it is ok, you need to note the source.

For example, when you get a picture off a web site to put here, you will need to give the address of that web site (URL) and explain how you know that it is ok to copy it. (Most web sites have a section on copyright, permissions or terms of use which will explain whether it is ok.)

Just because something is on a web site does not mean that it is ok to copy it to another site. Yes, you can do it, but that does not make it ok. You can pick up something in a local store and walk out without paying, but just because you can does not make it ok or legal.
