Feminist SF Wiki:Ownership of articles

Based on Wikipedia's Ownership of articles policy:

Editors and contributors to the FSFwiki do not own their contributions. They "donate" them to a community editing collective, without restriction.

FSFwiki editors and ncontributors do not own their work either from a legal perspective (see Copyright and licensing below for the legal specifics.) or from an authorial control/attribution/credit perspective.

Credit and "authorial" ownership

This is a wiki. It is intended to be a free-form, publicly editable community resource. This is not a place for single-author works. Any contribution made by any editor -- whether a minor copy-edit, a significant reworking of existing content, a drafting of an entire new article or topic, or placement of a preexisting work (to which you own the copyright) -- is available to be edited in major or minor ways, deleted, or reverted. There is no guarantee that any contribution will retain its original flavor and meaning. If you add something to the wiki, it is not your baby. It is a contribution to a collective work. Editors are members of the editorial collective but are not individual owners of the work.

Credit is not maintained on any article, although the article revision history will show changes made to it. Edits to the FSFwiki are contributed to the FSFwiki, without restrictions or requirements for attribution or credit, or without requirements of maintaining the work in its present form or meaning.

The feministSF.net umbrella project hosts projects that will post and archive individually created works; see particularly the feminist SF scholarship and research network. While this is under development, we will accept relevant works and link to them from feministsf.org.

It is also perfectly permissible to post a work to which you own the copyright in two places: One in its original, unaltered form, credited to you the author, and hosted at your blog, a journal, the feminist SF SRN, or other location; and another posting here on the FSFwiki, which will be uncredited (except in the article history) and freely editable by members of the FSFwiki community.

Copyright and licensing

All material added to the FSFwiki belongs to this project, without restriction.

To the extent that any original material is contributed, it is considered a work-for-hire, in that it is directed by the FSFwiki collective community of editors, and is supervised and reviewed by the FSFwiki project generally. Thus FSFwiki is considered the "author" for legal purposes. No moral rights, droit d'auteur, or reversionary rights attach to contributions to the FSFwiki.

Should any material contributed be deemed by a court to not be a work-for-hire, it is most accurately construed as a work of joint authorship, in which the community of FSFwiki editors is a joint author.

Should any material contributed be deemed by a court to be neither a work-for-hire nor a work of joint authorship, but to be a work of original authorship of the individual author, the author multi-licenses the work to the FSFwiki in the most open and non-restrictive interpretation of the GFDL and CC licenses.
