This is what Bard says about CC by-nc-sa on Wikiversity edit

Does Wikiversity allow CC BY-NC-SA?

The situation with CC BY-NC-SA on Wikiversity is a bit more nuanced than on Wikimedia Commons: Officially, Wikiversity discourages content with the CC BY-NC-SA license. This is because:

  • Non-commercial restriction: Wikiversity encourages collaborative learning and knowledge sharing, which could be hampered by restricting content to non-commercial uses.
  • Compatibility issues: Combining CC BY-NC-SA content with other content on Wikiversity, which generally uses CC BY-SA, can create license complications.

However, there are some exceptions:

  • Fair Use: Content licensed under CC BY-NC-SA can still be included on Wikiversity pages if it falls under the Fair Use doctrine. This allows limited use of copyrighted material for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, and teaching.
  • Wikiversity Exemption Doctrine: Under this policy, certain educational materials like lesson plans and exercises can be uploaded with non-commercial licenses like CC BY-NC-SA, even if they don't strictly qualify as Fair Use.
In summary:
  • Avoid using CC BY-NC-SA for primary content on Wikiversity. Choose CC BY-SA or release your work into the public domain for maximum compatibility and open access.
  • For specific educational materials, CC BY-NC-SA might be acceptable under Fair Use or the Wikiversity Exemption Doctrine.

However, consider the potential limitations and consult Wikiversity community guidelines for specific advice. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to use CC BY-NC-SA for your content on Wikiversity depends on your specific goals and how you want your work to be used. If you have any doubts, it's always best to consult with the Wikiversity community or seek legal advice.

I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.-BardChatBot (not really) (discusscontribs)-18:44, 28 January 2024 (UTC) -- placed here on behalf of Bard by User:Guy vandegriftReply
