| | What is Copyleft? - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) |
 | | Copyleft is a general method for making a program or other work free, and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well. | | | Copyleft also provides an incentive for other programmers to add to free software. | | | Copyleft is a general concept; there are many ways to fill in the details. |

| | The copyleft concept was invented by Richard Stallman in 1984 for the distribution of computer software, although it is now also being used for other types of material. | | | However, the analogy between copyleft and computer viruses is not close; as advocates of copyleft point out, computer viruses infect computers without the awareness of the user, whereas the copyleft actually grants the user certain permissions to distribute modified programs, which is otherwise not allowed under copyright law or by most proprietary licenses. | | | This term is considered derogatory, as it compares copylefted works to harmful computer viruses. |

| | copyleft - a Whatis.com definition |
| | Copyleft is the idea and the specific stipulation when distributing software that the user will be able to copy it freely, examine and modify the source code, and redistribute the software to others (free or priced) as long as the redistributed software is also passed along with the copyleft stipulation. | | | Copyleft favors the software user's rights and convenience over the commercial interests of the software makers. | | | The de facto collaboration that developed and refined Unix and other collegially-developed programs led the FSF to the idea of "free" software and copyleft. |

| | Copyleft started life with the "open source" computer movement which was begun by Richard "Math-You" Stallman in 1984. | | | It is an idea that has its roots in the computer hacking community, though it isn’t intrinsically electronic, and has aspects that are profoundly philosophical and politically potent. | | | It was in solving these problems that Stallman went on to form the next part of his idea, a part that some would argue is as important as the actual software, if not more so. |

| | COPYLEFT: A revolution in software licencing which brings you GNU/Linux! |
| | Copyleft licensing evolved from the open source movement which is based on the idea that by making source code widely available and freely modifiable, higher quality software is developed, bugs are fixed more quickly and the resulting product is relatively inexpensive as compared with some commercially available software. | | | The idea behind Copyleft is to ensure that an individual cannot take advantage of being able to modify a free software program and then sell the resulting modified program as a new work. | | | The concept of Copyleft is used particularly in relation to software. |

| | Furthermore, the licensees of the proprietary version do not possess a copylefted work so they may not possess similar rights; however, if the copylefted work is made public, the licensees of the proprietary version may also switch to the copylefted version (if they can get it). | | | This "freedom" emboldens the FreeSoftware ethic, by requiring all users of the CopyLeft software to give back to the community, rather than allowing certain individuals (typically software developers) to not give back to the community by distributing their modifications as proprietary. | | | In effect, the copyleft license is intended to create a gold mine of useful tools but only let in those of the view that source code should be public. |

| | Wikitravel: Functional Copyleft Content for Travelers |
| | Detractors from the idea of Copyleft Content often point to the fact that non-software expression is not functional in the same way that software is, and therefore doesn't need the same user-maintenance mechanics that software does. | | | The idea of Copyleft Content, that is, freely redistributable and editable non-software information based on the Free Software model, has gotten off to a rocky start. | | | One may be that there is a greater infrastructure for independent publishing of proprietary pieces than for software, meaning there's less of a need for the Free Software model from the creator's point of view. |

| | on the misuse of copyLEFT |
| | Copyleft attempted to fix this problem by promoting the free copying and distribution (and derivative use) of works ONLY if it is for non-commercial purposes, in other words, only if there is no economic exploitation. | | | In many ways copyleft represents an acknowledgement of the failure of anticopyright because of an initial naivete - the presupposition that everyone who would benefit from anticopyrighting shared the same values and would be using and reproducing information in the same spirit of generosity. | | | Stealing a domain name and acts of plagiarism (lying about the source and the production of a work) have nothing to do with copyleft, which is based on a desire to free information by making it transparent. |

| | The central idea of copyleft is that we give everyone permission to run the program, copy the program, modify the program, and distribute modified versions--but not permission to add restrictions of their own." We are entering the era of self publishing that allows the creator of a work to distribute directly to the end consumer. | | | It is the GNU Project , which first came up with the concept of copyleft . | | | The main argument for using Open Source software is that is allows for 'independent peer review', whereby programmers all over the world can review and amend the code base, allowing the software to continually evolve into a better product. |

| | Copyleft, free software and open source software all pose major challenges to the concept of copyright and could threaten the established software houses such as Microsoft, Lambert said. | | | Stallman encouraged programmers to keep software in the public domain by using copyleft and the General Public License, which allows users to run, modify, copy, and distribute software as long as the program's source code remains publicly available. | | | Such approaches to software development are "vibrant" and have "sufficient volume, momentum and popularity to increase." |
