The licenses SmashWiki uses grant free access to our content in the same sense that free software is licensed freely. SmashWiki content can be copied, modified, and redistributed ''if and only if'' the copied version is made available on the same terms to others and acknowledgment of the authors of the SmashWiki article used is included (a link back to the article is generally thought to satisfy the attribution requirement). Copied SmashWiki content will therefore remain ''free'' under appropriate license and can continue to be used by anyone subject to certain restrictions, most of which aim to ensure that freedom. This principle is known as [[wikipedia:Copyleft|copyleft]], in contrast to typical copyright licenses. | The licenses SmashWiki uses grant free access to our content in the same sense that free software is licensed freely.
