==GNU Free Documentation License==
Non-text media on {{SITENAME}} should not be assumed to be available under the same license as the text. Please view the media description page for details about the license of any specific media file. Off-wiki content, such as emails and IRC chats, should not be assumed to be under this license if this is not explicitly stated.
The '''GNU Free Documentation License''' ('''GFDL''') is a copyleft license for free content, designed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).


The GFDL is a "copyleft" license, meaning the content can be copied, modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikia page. Wikia content will, therefore, will remain free forever and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which serve to ensure that freedom.
== What does this mean? ==
* When '''contributing to the wiki''', you agree to give permission to the general public to redistribute and reuse your contributions freely for any purpose (including commercial), provided that they follow the attribution requirements of the CC-BY-SA license.
* When '''reusing {{SITENAME}} content on your own website''', you must provide credit to the authors either by including a) a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages you are reusing, b) a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy which is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on this website, or c) a list of all authors. (Any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions.). If you make modifications or additions to the page you reuse, you must license them under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 3.0 or later. For further information, please refer to the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode legal code of the CC-BY-SA License]. Attribution example when reusing {{SITENAME}} content on your own website:
*:''This article uses material from the [http://rhythmheaven.wikia.com/wiki/Built_to_Scale_(DS) "Built to Scale"] article on [http://rhythmheaven.wikia.com/ Rhythm Heaven Wiki] and is licensed under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License].''


Wikipedia, one of the web's most popular reference works, uses the GFDL. Using the same license as that site makes it easy for Wikia users to reuse the content from Wikipedia. You must adhere to the GFDL when using Wikipedia content.
