Wikipedia:Submission Standards/copyright compliance opt out application

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm opting out because I have and will release works under licenses other than the GFDL (CC-ShareAlike and others) which I have and will also license to the Wikipedia under the GFDL. It would be contrary to my licenses to those other parties to authorize the Wikipedia to act against them for infringements of the GFDL, which they aren't bound by, just because I've also granted the Wikipedia a license restricted to the GFDL terms.

I am also opting to opt out, becuase I don't understand that mess of legalese and I plan to split-license some or all of my contributions, and don't want to surrender the right to do so. Boffy b 14:51, 2004 Dec 12 (UTC)

I'm not completely sure what all of this means, but everything I do here is released to the public domain, so I'm not sure if I even have to opt out. But if I have to I will. --SPUI (talk) 11:51, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I opt out on the general principle of opting out of all restrictive covenants, whenever possible. I resent that someone would throw an additional burden on my shoulders. — Xiong (talk) 20:27, 2005 Mar 26 (UTC)
