Dear INQ7 Interactive Inc,

We're delighted to see that your website, http://inq7.net, uses content (such as http://inq7.net/globalnation/sec_cdn/2006/feb/img/frontpage_feb18popup.jpg) from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org), the free encyclopedia. This is just the sort of application that we at Wikipedia wish to promote.

However, we'd like to point out that when using content from Wikipedia you should include a link back to the source Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Southern_Leyte_mudslide), as we've suggested on our copyrights page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights). Additionally, you should also include a GFDL notice. One way of doing this would be to add the text included below, and provide a link to http://gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html.

Please take note of the verbatim copying clause of the license, You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.

[edit] Reusers' rights and obligations (from the copyright)

If you want to use Wikipedia materials in your own books/articles/web sites or other publications, you can do so, but you have to follow the GFDL. If you are simply duplicating the Wikipedia article, you must follow section two of the GFDL on verbatim copying, as discussed at Wikipedia:Verbatim copying.

If you create a derivative version by changing or adding content, this entails the following:

  • your materials in turn have to be licensed under GFDL,
  • you must acknowledge the authorship of the article (section 4B), and
  • you must provide access to the "transparent copy" of the material (section 4J). (The "transparent copy" of a Wikipedia article is any of a number of formats available from us, including the wiki text, the html web pages, xml feed, etc.)

You may be able to partially fulfill the latter two obligations by providing a conspicuous direct link back to the Wikipedia article hosted on this website. You also need to provide access to a transparent copy of the new text. However, please note that the Wikimedia Foundation makes no guarantee to retain authorship information and a transparent copy of articles. Therefore, you are encouraged to provide this authorship information and a transparent copy with your derived works.
