Copyright policy

ProgClub forums

The ProgClub forums are the wiki, the blog, and the mailing lists.

Please don't pinch copyrighted work and post it on a ProgClub forum. The only material that is suitable to post on ProgClub forums is material that you have written yourself or copied from a public domain source.

By posting content to a ProgClub forum you are giving ProgClub the right to publish your material on the internet (or elsewhere) without restriction and without attribution. Some forums provide a mechanism for attribution, while others do not. Where it is feasible to do so ProgClub is happy to give you attribution for your contribution, but we reserve the right to use any content submitted to any of our forums in any way.

If you are not happy with these terms, please don't submit content to ProgClub forums.

If you are planning to contribute to a ProgClub forum, please understand that your contribution may be modified or deleted by someone else without notice. There is no guarantee that your contributions will persist in their original form, or at all. See the general disclaimer for further information.

ProgClub projects

Following is the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for ProgClub projects.

ProgClub projects are under version control in pcrepo. Members are entitled to write access to pcrepo, which means they have check-in permission. By using the check-in feature to submit content for a project a member is asserting that:

  • they are the original author of the work, or the work has been copied from a suitably licensed source
  • they are not aware of any patents that cover their contribution
  • they are not aware of any trademarks that cover their contribution
  • they are willing to license their work under the licensing terms appropriate to the project

If a member is confused about the licensing terms of the project, or if a member is confused about what qualifies as a suitably licensed source, they should ask. Generally there will be files in the project's root folder that detail the licensing terms. Members are entitled to attribution for their work, and they should update the appropriate attribution file in the project's root folder with their details.
