  • Permitted Use: You have specific permission from the copyright holder to use the content for this wiki. Please provide proof if you are using content in this case.
  • Freely licensed: You can prove that the copyright holder has released the image or work under an acceptable free license. Note that images that are licensed for use only on the Bastion of Hestia Wiki, or only for non-commercial or educational use, or under a license that doesn't allow for the creation of modified/derived works, are unsuitable. When in doubt, do not upload copyrighted images.
  • Public domain: You can prove that the image or work is in the public domain, i.e. free of all copyrights.
  • Fair use: You believe that the image or content meets the special conditions for non-free content, which exceptionally allow the use of unlicensed material, and you can provide an explicit non-free use rationale explaining why and how you intend to use it.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is NOT copyright infringement. However, all content from open-sourced wiki's must be attributed to their original creators. Most other Space station 13 wikis do not have a copyright and are considered open-source - this does not mean that you are free to copy and replicate the content on this wiki. We do not allow plagiarism. All works that are taken from, or derivative from - including sources that are derivative from our original works - must be properly attributed in at least the talk page or sourced at the bottom of a page.

Lore is included in this, plagiarized lore will not be tolerated without proper attribution. If the content is directly ripped from a literary source, it will not be acceptable.

Server content

All copyright issues with images or works that are from the server code itself must be dealt with by developers. Contact them if you see a copyright issue within the game sprites / code. If any sprites or content is removed from the code, it must be removed from the wiki as well.

Reporting copyright violations

Contact a wiki administrator if you believe an image is under yours or someone else's copyright. If the content is from our games code, you must use the channels with the developers to have it removed.
