Copyleft problems

[edit]

I have deleted and recreated this article as a stub.

This is because Wikipedia Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License allows commercial distribution, but the current licence used by the British Civil War website is Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported, which places a restriction "Non-Commercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes." which the Wikipedia license does not.

Providing the requirements of the Terms of Use and WP:plagiarism are met there is no reason why information from the British Civil War website can not be summarised and and cited like any other copyright text. But it can not be copied under its copyleft licence into Wikipedia articles because its licence is more restrictive than the Wikipedia licence. --PBS (talk) 13:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Philip, you have Gilbert born about 1598 and possibly at Felley Priory. Given that the property was given to the Millington's by King James this is quite unlikely. James became king of England as of 1603, thus actions concerning Felley cannot be any earlier. Hope this helps. 86.22.105.192 (talk) 17:15, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
