Editing Sloptionary:Copyrights (section)

= Sloptionary:Copyrights =

Sloptionary is an open, collaborative, AI-aided lexicographical project operated under the Moribund Institute.

Unless otherwise noted, all textual content on this site is licensed under:

== Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) ==

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

----

== What This Means ==

You are free to:

* '''Share''' — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
* '''Adapt''' — remix, transform, and build upon the material
* '''Use commercially'''

Under the following terms:

* '''Attribution''' — Please give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. A link back to the original Sloptionary page is usually enough. We are not here to become citation goblins with clipboards, but attribution helps maintain a healthy open-web ecosystem where odd words, machine omens, autocomplete folklore, and synthetic definitions can travel without being swallowed by contextless sludge.

* '''ShareAlike''' — If you remix, transform, or build upon Sloptionary textual content, you must distribute your contributions under the same license. Ideally, this keeps the lexical slop-stream open, remixable, and available to future humans, robots, and suspiciously eloquent autocomplete systems.

This license applies to textual content unless otherwise specified.

----

== Attribution Format ==

When reusing Sloptionary content, please credit in one of the following formats:

* “Source: Sloptionary (sloptionary.org), licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.”
* A direct hyperlink to the original article page.
* A citation including page title and URL.

Example:

''Hedonvalescence.'' Sloptionary. https://sloptionary.org/wiki/Hedonvalescence

----

== AI-Assisted Content ==

Sloptionary contains AI-assisted and machine-generated lexical experiments, including generated definitions, example sentences, images, audio, videos, prompts, and other multimodal materials.

Unless otherwise noted, edited textual entries on Sloptionary are treated as site text and are released under CC BY-SA 4.0.

However, AI-generated outputs may have uncertain or platform-specific legal status depending on how they were generated, where they were generated, and what source material or model terms were involved. Reusers should exercise reasonable judgment, especially with images, audio, video, and other media files.

----

== Images and Media ==

Images, audio, video, and other media may be subject to different licensing terms.

Each file page may specify its own license, source, creator, generator, or usage note.

Please check the file description page before reuse.

This includes, but is not limited to:

* AI-generated images
* Uploaded illustrations
* Logos and branding assets
* Embedded videos
* Generated songs or audio
* Screenshots
* External media embeds

----

== Embedded Media ==

Sloptionary may embed media from third-party platforms such as YouTube or other services.

Embedded media remains governed by the copyright and terms of the original platform, uploader, or rights holder. Embedding a video on Sloptionary does not mean Sloptionary owns or relicenses that video.

----

== Logos and Branding ==

The name '''Sloptionary''', the Sloptionary logo, mascot concepts, and related branding assets are not automatically covered by the Creative Commons license unless explicitly stated.

Brand identity elements may be subject to separate terms.

You may discuss, link to, cite, parody, or reference Sloptionary freely, but do not imply official endorsement or affiliation without permission.

----

== Code ==

Any source code published as part of Sloptionary tools, templates, extensions, scripts, or repositories may be licensed separately.

Refer to individual repositories or file headers for specific license terms.

----

== Why Share-Alike? ==

Sloptionary exists to preserve machine-assisted lexical weirdness, accelerate the velocity of ideas, and turn synthetic language artifacts into usable definitions, examples, prompts, lessons, and cultural notes.

The ShareAlike provision helps ensure that improvements to entries remain open and accessible to the public.

In plain terms: if you refine the slop, release the refined slop back into the commons.

----

== Relationship to MorDictionary ==

Sloptionary is the robot-assisted counterpart and mostly-joking rival of '''MorDictionary'''.

'''MorDictionary''' focuses on human-forged neologisms.

'''Sloptionary''' focuses on AI-aided slop, machine omens, autocomplete folklore, generated media, synthetic meanings, and computational nonsense.

The two projects may share philosophical DNA, but each site has its own branding, content, and licensing notes.
