Ximbiot - CVS Wiki:Standard GFDL violation letter

Buy CVS & Subversion Stuff!

The following is a general letter that can be used to contact users of Ximbiot - CVS Wiki content asking them to give Ximbiot - CVS Wiki credit and/or include a GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) notice. Note: This letter was adapted from the text located at Wikipedia:Standard GFDL violation letter and originally from Wikipedia:User:MyRedDice/Abacci Letter.

Note that while these letters are part of Ximbiot - CVS Wiki (and thus subject to the GFDL) you may wish to remove the GFDL notice at the bottom of the letter as that notice may be confusing. Alternatively, rather than restating it in the letter, you can make reference to the notice at the bottom being the required notice under the GFDL, thereby (in a rather slick manner) leaving the GFDL notice in, but making it look like it is the required text that one is requesting to put on the web site though, obviously it will be functioning in both capacities (example and license notice).

Some cautionary notes:

• Many uses of Ximbiot - CVS Wiki content will be covered by fair use, remember that wholesale copying is often not covered by fair use.
• Sometimes text will be separately submitted by its author to Ximbiot - CVS Wiki and to another website. Sometimes the other website came first -- check the article's talk page and history.
• Only a substantial copyright owner can sue -- be aware that even if you have edited an article this may not mean you.

Letter for website that doesn't acknowledge Ximbiot - CVS Wiki as a source

Dear {Website owner's name here},

We're delighted to see that your website, {web page here}, uses content from Ximbiot - CVS Wiki (http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/), the free encyclopedia. This is just the sort of application that we at Ximbiot - CVS Wiki wish to promote.

However, we'd like to point out that when using content from Ximbiot - CVS Wiki you should include a link back to the source Ximbiot - CVS Wiki article ({give link here}), as we've suggested on our copyrights page (http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/Ximbiot_-_CVS_Wiki:Copyrights). Additionally, you should also include a GFDL notice. One way of doing this would be to add the text "This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, which means that you can copy and modify it as long as the entire work (including additions) remains under this license", and provide a link to http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html.

Thanks for your assistance,

(To be sent after not less than, but not a lot more than a month after the first - ideally, one month and less than a week after)

Dear {Website owner's name here},

This is in regard with your {web page/site here} which uses Ximbiot - CVS Wiki content (http://http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/).

As we suggested in a prior message, your use of content from Ximbiot - CVS Wiki automatically makes you a Licensee of that material, according to the Ximbiot - CVS Wiki Copyrights page and the international copyright laws. As a Licensee of the GNU Free Documentation Licence (GFDL), you are required to abide by that respective license, which in turn means you must perform the following steps:

• You must include links to the article(s) in Ximbiot - CVS Wiki you copied on the pages containing the copied/modified material;
• You must include a visible GFDL notice on every page using Ximbiot - CVS Wiki content, similar to the one at the bottom of this message.

This is the second message we have sent you; it appears that your violation of our copyright has not changed since we sent our first letter. Please make sure you follow these steps now.
