IMPORTANTE: Si quiere utilizar el contenido de openformats.org, Primero lea la sección de derechos y obligaciones de los usuarios. Luego debe leer la licencia de Documentación Libre GNU.

Users' rights and obligations

If you want to use openformats.org 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 an openformats.org article, you must follow section 2 of the GFDL on 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 an openformats.org article is its wiki text.)

You may be able to partially fulfil the latter two obligations by providing a conspicuous direct link back to the openformats.org article hosted on this website. You also need to provide access to a transparent copy of the new text. However, please note that the administrators of the openformats.org website 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.

Example notice

An example notice, for an article that uses content from openformats.org might read as follows:

This article is licensed under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html">GNU Free Documentation License</a>. It uses material from the <a href="http://www.openformats.org/foo">openformats.org article "Foo"</a>.

("Foo" and the openformats.org URL must of course be substituted accordingly.)

Alternatively you can distribute your copy of Foo along with a copy of the GFDL (as explained in the text) and list at least five (or all if fewer than five) principal authors on the title page (or top of the document).

Contributors' rights and obligations

If you contribute material to openformats.org, you thereby license it to the public under the GFDL (with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). In order to contribute, you therefore must be in a position to grant this license, which means that either:

• you own the copyright to the material, for instance because you produced it yourself, or
• you acquired the material from a source that allows the licensing under GFDL, for instance because the material is in the public domain or is itself published under GFDL.

the first case, you retain copyright to your materials. You can later republish and relicense them in any way you like. However, you can never retract the GFDL license for the versions you placed here: that material will remain under GFDL forever. In the second case, if you incorporate external GFDL materials, as a requirement of the GFDL, you need to acknowledge the authorship and provide a link back to the network location of the original copy. If the original copy required invariant sections, you have to incorporate those into the openformats.org article; it is however very desirable to replace GFDL texts with invariant sections by original content without invariant sections whenever possible.

Usar el trabajo protegido de otros

If you use part of a copyrighted work under "fair use", or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates). It is our goal to be able to freely redistribute as much of openformats.org material as possible, so original images and sound files licensed under the GFDL or in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use.

Nunca uses material que infrinja el copyright de otros. Esto podría causar problemas legales y dañar seriamente al proyecto. En la duda, escríbelo tu mismo.

Nota que las leyes de copyright regulan la expresión creativa de las ideas, no las ideas o la información en si misma. Por lo tanto, es perfectamente legal leer un artículo de una enciclopedia u otro trabajo, reescribirlo con tus propias palabras, y enviarlo a openformats.org.
