Article guidelines and copyright

Well, folks before you just head up and contribute an article (which is very weclome, but when done right), please take a moment to read our so-simple-to-follow Article Guidelines at article_guidelines (the wiki parser is broken, ATM). One thing that should be clear is the copyright(left) status of the article. Many (or even most) publishers allow fair reproduction of "parts" of their text for "review" purposes only and/or in errata ... In other words, you're allowed to "talk about" parts of the material but you're not allowed to "reproduce" the material with the sole intent of redistribution. One of the guidelines suggests "selecting an open licensing model (Creative
Commons, FDL, OPL, etc) for your articles and
append a note at the end with a link to the license text." (or using the one provided with the material if it's not of your creation). Thanks!

 EDIT: Moderation, speak up!
