− | 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. |
