• The [ontolog-forum] is chartered to be an OPEN forum. As such, all contribution to this forum by its community membership shall have been made under an open content license, open publication license or one of the free software or open source licenses.

  • Unless otherwise specified, content within the [ontolog-forum] collaborative work environment shall be subject to the Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 (Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0) License or its successors
    • The Open Content License (OPL), Version 1.0, July 14, 1998 or its successor. (see http://opencontent.org/opl.shtml) License may also be applied in lieu of the CC BY-SA 4.0 license (that being the first default licence designated when the Ontolog community was chartered back in 2002.) ... Do note that both these open licenses (CC BY-SA 4.0 and OPL v1.0) are "reciprocal" in nature.
