Licensed under Creative Commons
When it comes to the content on the blogs here, we decided to use Creative Commons license – because we want to share the content with only some rights reserved for ourselves. Also since many people across the globe would be contributing here, we wanted a license which can protect the interests of everyone.
There are four clauses under the creative commons license as defined by the site:
Attribution
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work — and derivative works based upon it — but only if they give credit the way you request.
Noncommercial
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your work — and derivative works based upon it — but for noncommercial purposes only
No Derivative Works
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.
Share Alike
You allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your work.
Using all these four, we come up with 16 different combinations and out of which only six are regularly used all of which have the Attribution on. For licensing under Creative Commons, you just have to choose a license using the remaining three clauses – which allows permission for commercial use, modification and share-alike.
After researching about all these, we decided that most of the content blogged here would be licensed as below.
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 India License.
I say “most of the content” because there will be some blogs (like the codelog) which has lot of code snippets – and it would be difficult when people are bound by the non-commercial clause. So, all the code snippets will be under public domain instead.
Authors are also requested to make sure that the content (text, images, audio, video, code) that they submit all fall under the correct license.
I think we have covered almost all of the licensing issues. If you think there is some place where we may get into trouble, just comment here.

I’ve said that least 3707410 times. The problem this like that is they are just too compilcated for the average bird, if you know what I mean
I have a diet blog i just started, i have about 3 posts, someone said i should start promoting i now. I thought i should wait until i had at least 10 posts and feedback from a few people in various forums before I promote it so maybe in 2 weeks. What do you think?.
For me it looks like you might have been studying this matter a good deal, and coming using a really great post, that basically rounds up the subject. Thank You.
Nice, fantastic post I just wrote from you. I like the way you appear on points rather a superb deal. I’m confident you might have been investigating this matter a terrific deal.
