<p>18.74.7.210: </p> <hr /> <div>lac4tvi<br /> ==Overview==<br /> The GNU Free Documentation License, or [[GNU FDL]], is an [[intellectual property license]] specifically designed for written material that is intended to be freely available. It is the counterpart of the [[GNU GPL]], which provides a similar license for [[software]].<br /> <br /> The license requires, in general, that those who copy the licensed material must in turn make that material freely available under the same license ''and'' must also provide a copy of that license along with the material. (In the case of web-hosted material, a link to a web page containing the license is sufficient.)<br /> <br /> Because most IP licenses are intended to protect the owner's copyright by ''preventing'' copying, the GNU FDL (which ''encourages'' copying) is often referred to as a &quot;copyleft&quot; license.<br /> <br /> The contents of [[Wikipedia]] and [[HTYP]] are provided under the GNU FDL.<br /> ==Links==<br /> ===Reference===<br /> * {{wikipedia|GNU Free Documentation License}}<br /> * [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html official page] at gnu.org</div>
