Goedkard foar Frije Kulturele Wurken

If the selected license provides the freedoms required of a free culture license, then the "Approved for Free Cultural Works" icon appears on this panel. This feature is intended to assist you in making a more informed decision. NonCommercial and NoDerivatives licenses include additional restrictions which, by definition, prevent them from being considered free culture licenses.

While our non-free culture licenses are useful in particular circumstances, unintended consequences may result from their use (such as license incompatibility). For example, a work that is under the license "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike" may not be combined with a work licensed "Attribution-ShareAlike" because putting the resulting work under either license violates the other by either adding or removing the NonCommercial restriction.

A real world example of license incompatibility: Works with the NonCommercial or the NoDerivatives restriction may not be posted to Wikipedia.

Freedomdefined.org is a great source of information about free culture. The free culture definition and permissible restrictions pages are wonderful starting points for further learning.

The HTML provided in this panel may be pasted into your website to display which license applies to your work, as well as attribution information.
