its text (not media, but that will be discussed shortly) may be <a href="/wiki/Free_content" title="Free content">freely</a> redistributed, reused and built upon by anyone, under the terms of the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License" title="Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License</a> (CC BY-SA) and, except where otherwise noted, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License" title="Wikipedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License">GNU Free Documentation License</a> (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). Contributors agree to release their original content under both licenses when they submit it, and material from public domain sources or other compatibly licensed sources may also be used in accordance with the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Copyright">copyright policy</a>, provided correct attribution is given. </p><p>However, copying material without the permission of the copyright holder from sources that are not public domain or compatibly licensed (unless it's a brief quotation used in accordance with Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NFC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NFC">non-free content policy and guideline</a>) is likely to be a <a href="/wiki/Copyright_infringement" title="Copyright infringement">copyright violation</a>. Even inserting text copied with some changes can be a copyright violation if there is substantial linguistic similarity in creative language or sentence structure; this is known as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Close_paraphrasing" title="Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing">close paraphrasing</a>, which can also raise concerns about <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Plagiarism" title="Wikipedia:Plagiarism">plagiarism</a>. Such situations should be treated seriously, as copyright violations not only harm Wikipedia's redistributability, but also create legal issues. </p><p>The situation for images and other media is slightly different, as a wider variety of licenses is accepted. But, in short, media which is not available under a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Free_licenses" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Free licenses">suitable free license</a> and which does not meet the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content_criteria" title="Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria">non-free content criteria</a>, should be assumed to be unacceptable.

In that case, please tag the page <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Copypaste" title="Template:Copypaste">copypaste</a>|url=insert URL here, if known}}</code>, unless your concerns are swiftly resolved. Others can then examine the situation and take action if needed. The most helpful piece of information you can provide is a URL or other reference to what you believe may be the source of the text. You may also make a note of your concerns at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_problems" title="Wikipedia:Copyright problems">Wikipedia:Copyright problems</a>. </p><p>Some cases will be false alarms. For example, text that can be found elsewhere on the Web that was in fact copied from Wikipedia in the first place is not a copyright violation – at least not on Wikipedia's part. In these cases, it is a good idea to <a href="/wiki/Template:Backwardscopy" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Backwardscopy">make a note</a> of the situation on the discussion page. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Contributor_is_copyright_holder" data-mw-thread-id="h-Contributor_is_copyright_holder-Dealing_with_copyright_violations"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Contributor_is_copyright_holder-Dealing_with_copyright_violations"></span>Contributor is copyright holder<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Contributor_is_copyright_holder-Dealing_with_copyright_violations"></span></h3></div> <p>Also, if the contributor is the copyright holder of the text, even if it is published elsewhere under different terms, they have the right to post it here under CC BY-SA and GFDL without violating copyright, so long as they provide a suitable release to the world under Wikipedia's licenses or a free license that is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COMPLIC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COMPLIC">compatible</a> with them. (Text may, however, still be unsuitable for Wikipedia for another reason.) A copyright holder cannot both retain non-free copyright elsewhere over their content, and license it for one-time use here with their permission, because Wikipedia's licensing scheme requires that its readers and end users be able to reuse the content under the free license notice that is posted at the bottom of every page. The procedures for donation of non-free copyrighted material by its release is described at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Donating_copyrighted_materials" title="Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials">Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials</a>. Until the donation process is complete the article should be replaced with <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Copyvio" title="Template:Copyvio">subst:copyvio</a>|url=insert URL here}}</code>. Similarly, if they can verify compatible license through a notice at the external site or can prove that the content is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain" title="Wikipedia:Public domain">public domain</a>, this is not a copyright violation. A note explaining the situation should be made on the talk page (including, if there is a release, the URL of where the release can be found; permission conveyed through e-mail must be confirmed through the procedure at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission" title="Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission">Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission</a>) and proper attribution given on the article's face.
