Intellectual Property Law

Wiki Up!

By Michael Scott

I am pleased to announce that a new wiki dedicated to Information Technology Law has recently been launched. It is being hosted by the folks that operate Wikipedia and numerous other wikis, and that means that if you are familiar with Wikipedia, the ITLaw wiki will look familiar and operates in exactly the same way.

For those who may not be as familiar with wikis, a wiki is a web-based encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to. The materials are generally posted under either a GPL or Creative Commons type of license. The ITLaw Wiki is covered by the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), which means that all documents remain the property of their creators, while the GDFL license ensures that the content may be freely modified, distributed and reproduced by anyone, so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the ITLaw wiki article.
