== Can I just copy over stuff from TV Tropes?==
Nope. They used to have a CC-BY-SA license, but they changed to a more restrictive license in July 2012. Since the change in license was done without the permission of some editors, it is unclear if they even have permission to distribute a large portion of their current content.<ref>See the Creative Commons FAQ [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#If_I_derive_or_adapt_a_work_offered_under_a_Creative_Commons_license.2C_which_CC_license.28s.29_can_I_apply_to_the_resulting_work.3F here] and [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_happens_if_I_offer_my_work_under_a_Creative_Commons_license_and_someone_misuses_my_work.3F here] for more info on the problems of converting CC-BY-SA to CC-BY-NC-SA licensing.</ref> We don't want to get involved in distributing content with such questionable copyright status.
Nope. They used to have a CC-BY-SA license, but they changed to a more restrictive license in July 2012. You can add stuff if it was created before then, but more than likely, this site already have all of those pages.▼

We might have lost some stuff in Main/, but you'd have to use a June 2012 version or earlier -- check [http://archive.org]. (If you're interested in the foreign language page, we do have that data, but it's not imported. Message an admin if you're interested in doing a site in another language. Mediawiki is much better for that purpose.)
Line 26 ⟶ 28:
You can sell it, do anything you want with it -- but anyone else can come along and make an even better work based on yours. Well, we hope it's better. If you're reusing images, be sure to check them individually, because they may be copyrighted content used under fair use. This is not legal advice, so use your best judgement.
== Can I copy something from this site to TV Tropes? ==
No, you cannot. They use a Creative Commons license with a Non-Commercial clause added, and so the two licenses are completely incompatible. Distributing CC-BY-SA content as CC-BY-NC-SA content is copyright infringement, unless the permission of all previous editors was given for that page. You can feel free to ask those editors, though.
== Hey, you infringed my (or my boss') copyright!==

Oh, hi there, creator (or owner). It's nice to have such an esteemed person on our site. Why don't you come and see our [[All The Tropes:FAQ for Creators]]?
