|

============
|
||||
|
||||
Let's start with a simplified copyleft definition, based on the one found on
|
||||
Wikipedia:
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Copyleft?
|
||||
|
||||
Copyleft is a strategy of utilizing copyright law to pursue the policy goal
|
||||
of fostering and encouraging the equal and inalienable right to copy, share,
|
||||
modify and improve creative works of authorship. Copyleft (as a general
|
||||
term) describes any method that utilizes the copyright system to achieve the
|
||||
aforementioned goal. Copyleft as a concept is usually implemented in the
|
||||
details of a specific copyright license, such as the GNU
|
||||
[General Public License (GPL)](http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html) and the
|
||||
[Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/).
|
||||
Copyright holders of creative works can unilaterally choose these licenses
|
||||
for their own works to build communities that collaboratively share and
|
||||
improve those copylefted creative works.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is copyleft.org?
|
||||
|
||||
copyleft.org is a collaborative project to create and disseminate useful
|
||||
information, tutorial material, and new policy ideas regarding all forms of
|
||||
copyleft licensing.
|
||||
|
||||
This site itself is licensed under a copyleft license, and has received
|
||||
contributions from experts around the world. Thus, copyleft.org is the
|
||||
premier "meta-project" of copyleft: it's useful copylefted information all
|
||||
about copyleft itself!
|
||||
|
||||
### The Copyleft Guide and Tutorial
|
||||
|
||||
The primary project currently on this site is a tutorial book entitled
|
||||
[*Copyleft and the GNU General Public License: A Comprehensive Tutorial and Guide*](/guide/).
|
||||
This guide describes the policy motivations for copyleft, presents a detailed analysis of the text of
|
||||
various copyleft licenses, and gives examples and case studies of copyleft compliance situations.
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting Involved
|
||||
|
||||
There are various ways to get involved with this project. The primary
|
||||
copyleft.org website is a wiki, and we welcome helpful edits and additions.
|
||||
|
||||
For the aforementioned guide and tutorial about GPL and other copyleft concepts,
|
||||
we seek help in the following ways:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Proposing Improvements to the Guide
|
||||
|
||||
[Pull requests on copyleft.org's Kallithea site](https://k.copyleft.org/guide/pull-request)
|
||||
to the Guide are most welcome. If you're looking for something to fix, just
|
||||
grep the *.tex files for "FIXME" and you'll find plenty. Many of them are
|
||||
simple and easy to do. Some of them are writing, and some of them are
|
||||
formatting-related.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Joining Mailing Lists
|
||||
|
||||
* Subscribe to our low-traffic [announcements-only mailing list](https://lists.copyleft.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/announce).
|
||||
* Join discussion on our [primary mailing list, called "discuss"](https://lists.copyleft.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss).
|
||||
|
||||
#### IRC Discussion
|
||||
|
||||
The copyleft.org
|
||||
[IRC channel is #copyleft on irc.freenode.net](irc://irc.freenode.net/#copyleft).
|
||||
The [IRC logs are public here on this site](/irclogs/).
|
||||
|
||||
### Who Contributes to copyleft.org?
|
||||
|
||||
This site is a joint project of
|
||||
[Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/news/2014/nov/07/copyleft-org/) and the
|
||||
[Free Software Foundation](http://www.fsf.org/news/software-freedom-conservancy-and-free-software-foundation-announce-copyleft.org). The editor-in-chief of
|
||||
[the guide](/guide/) is [Bradley M. Kuhn](http://ebb.org/bkuhn). The
|
||||
[recent changes page](/recentchanges) shows who has
|
||||
contributed to the wiki, and you can see the
|
||||
[Git commit log on the tutorial](https://k.copyleft.org/guide/changelog)
|
||||
to see who has contributed to it, and
|
||||
[[see the list of users who contribute to this Wiki|users]].
|
||||
|
||||
Copyleft.org may be sponsored by various organizations, and organizations may
|
||||
also republish some, or all, of the output of this project under the terms of
|
||||
the CC BY-SA license. However, contributors' work is their own, and thus the
|
||||
opinions expressed in their contributions, IRC utterances, commit messages,
|
||||
mailing list posts, and/or other fora provided by copyleft.org may not
|
||||
necessarily reflect the views of the contributors' employers and/or
|
||||
organizations sponsoring the project and/or organizations republishing
|
||||
copyleft.org's materials. Generally speaking, unless stated otherwise,
|
||||
please assume that individuals contribute to copyleft.org in their personal
|
||||
capacity.
|
||||
|
||||
### URLs You Can Memorize!
|
||||
|
||||
copyleft.org has many easy-to-remember URLs. These are convenience URLs that
|
||||
you can memorize and give to people verbally to point them to the right part
|
||||
of [The Guide](https://copyleft.org/guide/). (Since the guide is very large,
|
||||
we thought a few easy-to-remember ways to tell people where to look would be
|
||||
helpful.) Here are the primary ones:
|
||||
|
||||
* [copyleft.org](https://copyleft.org) points to this page.
|
||||
* [copyleft.guide](http://copyleft.guide) points to the guide itself.
|
||||
* [compliance.guide](http://compliance.guide) points to the *GPL Compliance Guide* section of the full Guide.
|
||||
* [gpl.guide](http://gpl.guide) points to the *Detailed Analysis of the GNU GPL and Related Licenses* section of the full Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
As time goes on, we'll add convenience URLs to refer to specific parts of the
|
||||
guide, which makes it easy to refer people to portions of the Guide. Here
|
||||
are the ones that exist so far:
|
||||
|
||||
* [compliance.guide/pristine](http://compliance.guide/pristine) points to
|
||||
the "pristine example", the chapter entitled *ThinkPenguin Wireless Router: Excellent CCS*.
|
||||
* [compliance.guide/offer-for-source](http://compliance.guide/offer-for-source) points to
|
||||
the section regarding using the offer for source provisions in GPLv3§6(c) and/or GPLv2§3(b).
|
||||
|
||||
### Offsite Resources
|
||||
|
||||
#### More on "What Is Copyleft?"
|
||||
|
||||
Here are a few external resources to read regarding the general concept of copyleft:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Richard M. Stallman's essay on copyleft at gnu.org](https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/)
|
||||
* [The Wikipedia entry on Copyleft](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft)
|
||||
(The definition of copyleft at the top of this page is a modified version
|
||||
of the first paragraph of that Wikipedia entry).
