Game Ideas Wiki:Copyrights

Community Central covers the topic simply and extensively. This is a wiki. Wikis hosted by Wikia are licensed under a Creative Commons license. The specifics of it are a "by:" and a "share alike" license as described by Creative Commons.

Wikia states that any edits here are published under said license. An explanation of how this plays out is below.



This license allows:

 * You and/or another company that wishes to make the idea able to make it

This isn't bad
Some games should probably be published under the CC Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported license somewhere else (due to the Wikia terms of use). That may lock in the idea, though, so I'm not sure. For now, I think the individual pages should probably show that type of info on them somewhere.

So please keep this in mind
Thank you.

Thanks to the gaming universe's companies for our theme. All logos (modified or otherwise) belong to their respective owners. Hmm, what do I actually own from it? The backdrop of white and black, and the layout. Not much.
