Open licenses/zh

開放許可或免費許可（英聯邦英語許可）是允許免費內容和免費軟件“免費”的法律聲明。這意味著“自由”，如“言論自由”或“隨意使用它”。有關更多信息，請參閱自由定義的wiki。

確切的含義可能會有所不同，但開放許可的一個常見概念是需要署名，但允許人們以任何方式使用內容，包括商業用途，但要求他們在同一許可下分享他們的修改。

“自由”或“開放”的知識使人類更加富有。您和您的組織將受益於 Appropedia、Wikipedia 和其他地方的免費知識的發展。

開放內容是免費的——為那些缺乏資源的人賦能。它還可以免費重用，賦予創新者、研究人員、教育工作者、企業家權力——只要能想到這些知識的用途。它使這些人能夠輕鬆地分享他們自己改進的工作版本。

條件

更詳細地說，開放許可證的主要目的是告訴人們他們可以在相對較少的條件下免費使用內容：

• 最常見的條件是歸因——要求他們承認你的工作。（這可能只是對 wiki 的署名，因此可能不會記入個人貢獻者。（有關更多信息，並查看確保更直接署名的方法，請參閱CC:Attribution。）
• The next most common condition is Share Alike - that you will share, as long as the final product is also shared in the same way. This prevents someone from taking your work, adding something of their own, and then publishing it in a more restricted way, e.g. claiming copyright on their amendments.

非商業許可 - 不是“免費”

Another popular clause is the non-commercial clause (NC in Creative Commons licenses).

However, content with this license is not considered "free" by Freedom Defined (the free cultural works definition), or the Open Knowledge Definition and is not able to be used in a site such as Appropedia which uses a license allowing commercial use.

This may be a wise choice for personal photos, or in some cases for creative work that you may wish to make a profit from.^[1]

There are many free licenses, but the most common are:

• GFDL
• CC-BY-SA - Creative Commons, By Attribution, Share Alike
• CC-BY - Creative Commons, By Attribution.
• Public domain - not actually a license, this is the absence of any copyrights, license, or restriction of any kind.
