'''Important note:''' ''The Akvo Foundation (Akvopedia) does not own copyright on Akvopedia article texts and illustrations. It is therefore useless to email our contact addresses asking for permission to reproduce content. Permission to reproduce content under the license and technical conditions applicable to Akvopeida (see below) has already been granted to everyone without request; for permission to use it outside these terms, one must contact all the volunteer authors of the text or illustration in question.''

'''Note that much of this document refers to the [[http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]] for guidance on issues on copyright. See also [[Akvopedia:Policies_and_guidelines]] on how we use Wikipedia policies as guidelines at Akvopedia.'''

The license [[Main Page|Akvopedia]] uses grants free access to our content in the same sense that [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/free_software] is licensed freely. This principle is known as '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/copyleft]'''. Akvopedia 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 Akvopedia article used (a direct link back to the article is generally thought to satisfy the attribution requirement). Akvopedia articles therefore will remain free under the GFDL and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which aim to ensure that freedom.

To this end, the text contained in Akvopedia is copyrighted (automatically, under the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention_for_the_Protection_of_Literary_and_Artistic_Works Berne Convention]) by Akvopedia contributors and licensed to the public under the '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL GNU Free Documentation License]''' (GFDL). The full text of this license is at [[Akvopedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License]].
