'''Important note:''' ''MyWikiBiz does not own copyright on MyWikiBiz '''non-[[Directory namespace|Directory]]''' '''("ND")''' article texts and illustrations. It is therefore useless to email our contact addresses asking for permission to reproduce content.''

'''Important note:''' ''Individual authors of [[Directory namespace|Directory]] page content are solely responsible for their copyright and licensing considerations. The content that is '''NOT''' contained in MyWikiBiz's '''[[Help:Directory namespace|Directory]]''' listings is licensed to the public under the '''[[GNU Free Documentation License]]''' (GFDL).  MyWikiBiz owns copyright on very few article texts and illustrations -- generally, only those pages that are specific to the MyWikiBiz brand or operations. Therefore, it is likely unproductive to contact MyWikiBiz for permission to reproduce content you see here.  Rather, consult the '''authors''' of the page(s) you are assessing.''

The license [[Directory:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] uses grants free access to our '''non-[[Help:Directory namespace|Directory]]''' content in the same sense as [[free software]] is licensed freely. This principle is known as '''[[copyleft]]'''. That is to say, MyWikiBiz '''ND''' content can be copied, modified, and redistributed ''so long as'' the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the MyWikiBiz '''ND''' article used (a direct link back to the article satisfies our author credit requirement).  MyWikiBiz '''ND''' articles therefore will remain free forever and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which serve to ensure that freedom.
