What is the license agreement on the contents of WikiDoc?
WikiDoc articles are all open articles and are covered by the GNU Free Documentation License.
If I link a word from my site to the WikiDoc, am I required to use the GNU FDL for my site? What if I use a small quote (three or four sentences)? What if I quote entire articles?
- The answer to the first question is "no". Linking is not an act regulated by copyright, so the GNU FDL does not apply. The answer to the second is also "no," since it is covered by the fair use doctrine. For the third question, check with your lawyer, or just put the site under the GNU FDL. However, WikiDocs try to assume good faith, so minor copyright violations are unlikely to result in a lawsuit.
What should I do if I find a factual error in WikiDoc?
You should correct it. See WikiDoc:Contributing FAQ. Volunteer contributions from those who believe knowledge should be free and accurate for everyone. make up WikiDoc and the community is always ready to welcome whomever would like to join. Because WikiDoc is an all-volunteer project that anyone can edit, errors or omissions can and do creep in. This should be kept in mind when reading; though our aim is to maintain accuracy, inaccuracies may sometimes occur. Articles frequently contain citations of authoritative works where a reader can verify the information found.
