License
We're under CC-BY-SA 3.0, not NC. With the ads we have, I don't believe we come under non-commercial. We may have to delete those imports due to incompatible license. -- Prod (Talk) 05:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand the issue. This seems to pertain mostly to Article 4c of the by-nc-sa legal code which states:
 * You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary compensation in con-nection with the exchange of copyrighted works.
 * I am not a lawyer, but this seems to indicate that as long as you have no intention of charging anyone a specific amount of money for the right to view the material, you are within your rights to display it, even though you support the site through the display of ads. In fact, minecraftwiki.net displays ads in order to support their own site, which seems to contradict the notion that their content is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA, if in fact the display of ads was in violation of the NC clause.  Rather, the content is available for any and all who wish to view it for free, despite the fact that any site which chooses to present the material may present ads to the viewer as a revenue source, but not as a commercial fee for the presentation that a user is forced to pay.  Ultimately, however, it is your call.  Just let me know because it's not a trivial task to convert all of the content for display on this site.  I'm trying to conform to the look and feel that you use in your guides as best I can.  If the content is not going to survive the effort, please let me know.  Thank you.

 * The additional problem is that putting it up here relicenses the code under CC-BY-SA, and that does allow that kind of usage. Although we may not be conflicting with the license terms, potentially people could take content from us and release in a non-free format.  Our hosting the content isn't the problem, our re-licensing is. As much as I'd love to keep the content, I don't think this gives us much leeway. -- Prod (Talk) 17:56, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
