The two halves of NSWiki are covered by two seperate licence:

• NSWiki.org operates under the provisions of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. As such, users of NSWiki agree to have their contributions to the project released under the terms of this agreement. You are free to share or adapt the work under the following conditions:

• Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work.)
• Share Alike — If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same, similar or a compatible license.

With the understanding that:

• Waiver — Any of the above conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder.
• Other Rights — In no way are any of the following rights affected by the license:

• your fair dealing or fair use rights;
• the author's moral rights; and
• rights other persons may have either in the work itself or in how the work is used, such as publicity or privacy rights.

• Notice — For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work. The best way to do that is with a link to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

• archive.NSWiki.org operates under the provisions of the GNU Free Documentation License. All content contained on this archive site operates under this license which is residual from, and a corollary of, the licensing of this content under the GNU FDL on the original NSWiki.net site.

This license stipulates that:

• All previous authors of the work must be attributed.
• All changes to the work must be logged.
• All derivative works must be licensed under the same license.
• The full text of the license, unmodified invariant sections as defined by the author if any, and any other added warranty disclaimers (such as a general disclaimer alerting readers that the document may not be accurate for example) and copyright notices from previous versions must be maintained.
• Technical measures such as DRM may not be used to control or obstruct distribution or editing of the document.

In both instances, authors of original works must be attributed, with copyright notices and notices of license preserved (for our purposes, a link to the appropriate licence will suffice), and any derivative works must share the same license.
