"The license [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia Wikipedia] uses grants free access to our content in the same sense as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software free software] is licensed freely. This principle is known as '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft copyleft]'''. That is to say, Wikipedia content can be copied, modified, and redistributed ''so long as'' the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia article used (a direct link back to the article satisfies our author credit requirement). Wikipedia articles therefore will remain free forever and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which serve to ensure that freedom." | |||

One of the important differences between SklogWiki and Wikipedia is that SklogWiki has '''no''' notability criteria. Indeed, this was one of the incentives for the creation of SklogWiki. SklogWiki accepts original work, commentaries, or pages that are dedicated to a single or series of papers published in a 'traditional' journal. Material that falls within the scope of SklogWiki is sufficient ''raison d'être'' for its inclusion. | One of the important differences between SklogWiki and Wikipedia is that SklogWiki has '''no''' notability criteria.
