== Software license ==
If not explicitly stated, no license is granted on the software hosted here. This is most likely due to omission, but possibly more strategic: we think there might be interesting options to explore with copyleft licenses. We would love to have a deeper conversation with you on those topics. Please do reach out.

MediaWiki and the various extensions used for our hosting software have licenses listed at [[Special:Version]].

The user-contributed software (for instance the user scripts and the gadgets in the MediaWiki namespace) are by default contributed under CC-BY-SA. This is due to Wikidata having that same license for its software and the expectation that contributors will cut and paste freely from Wikipedia and Wikidata.

Wikipedia and Wikidata encourage contributors to double license original contribution under the GPL, and we do the same here, on a per file basis.

We think there might be interesting options to explore with copyleft mixed licenses. We would love to have a deeper conversation with you on those topics. Please do reach out.
