	When using or ~~branching~~ from another ~~person~~'s ~~Duela~~ work, credit the original creator.		When using or building from another contributor's work, credit the original creator.

	A simple attribution is ~~enough in most cases.~~		For wiki posts and branches, a simple attribution line is sufficient:<pre>

			For published commercial work (print, ebook, or similar) that draws on another contributor's material, credit should appear in the publication itself: in the acknowledgments, copyright page, or a contributor credits section. The standard for attribution scales with the scale of the use. A throwaway reference to a character someone else created warrants a line. A story substantially built on another contributor's worldbuilding warrants more.

			If you are building commercial work from Duela material, track your sources as you go. Reconstructing attribution after the fact is harder than maintaining it while writing.

	== Commercial use ==		== Commercial use ==
	Commercial use is ~~allowed~~.		Commercial use is permitted. Writers may publish, sell, license, or otherwise commercially use their Duela work as long as they follow the license terms.

	This ~~means writers may publish~~, ~~sell~~, ~~or otherwise commercially use Duela works~~, ~~as long as they follow~~ the ~~license~~ terms.		This includes the project founder. No one has special commercial rights over community contributions. The CC BY-SA license was chosen specifically to prevent any single party, including the people who started this project, from taking community contributions and locking them into a proprietary product. What contributors create here remains in the shared creative pool, available to everyone under the same terms.

	If a ~~commercial work uses another contributor's material, that contributor should be credited~~.		== Share-alike requirement ==
			Derivative works must be shared under CC BY-SA 4.0 or a compatible license.

	~~== Share-alike requirement ==~~		This means you cannot take Duela material, adapt it, and release the result under a restrictive license that prevents others from doing the same. The shared creative pool stays shared.
	~~Derivative works must use~~ the same ~~license~~.

	This ~~prevents someone from taking shared Duela material, making~~ a ~~closed version~~, ~~and removing it from~~ the ~~shared creative pool~~.		== A note on this page ==
