Basilicus:Copyright history

rdfs:comment

Basilicus was originally created by Mark Havenner in 2004 as a world-building project utilizing a PHP content management system. At the time, the project's rights were fully reserved and the creator hoped to establish a growing community of world-builders. As the project progressed, however, it was realized that by transitioning the content into a free license, it would benefit both the developers and the world-building community as a whole. The first license chosen was from Creative Commons.

Basilicus was originally created by Mark Havenner in 2004 as a world-building project utilizing a PHP content management system. At the time, the project's rights were fully reserved and the creator hoped to establish a growing community of world-builders. As the project progressed, however, it was realized that by transitioning the content into a free license, it would benefit both the developers and the world-building community as a whole. The first license chosen was from Creative Commons. After about a year, it was decided to convert the licensing to GNU, in order to utilize more integration with other existing projects. Because there were no other contributors at the time, the transition required no consent. However, it is possible that Basilicus materials can exist under Creative Commons. In that case, the material must be "dual-licensed" to keep the integrity of both licenses. If users choose to use Basilicus under the Creative Commons license, it can only be with materials taken or modified between March 2004 and December 2005. There is no existing archive for these materials and so must have been acquired during that time. The developers of Basilicus strongly encourage that users utilize current materials under the current license so as to avoid future incompatability with other Basilicus materials. Additionally and as with any material, users may choose to dual-license downstream modifications of Basilicus as long as the GFDL is maintained.
