The text of Celeste Wiki is copyrighted (automatically, under the Berne Convention) by Celeste Wiki editors and contributors and is formally licensed to the public under onetwo or several noncommercial but liberaldifferent licenses. Most of Celeste Wiki's text and some of its images are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 43.0 InternationalUnported License (CC BY-NC-SA) or any later version, as well as the GNU General Public License, version 3 only. Some text has been imported only under CC BY-SA, older versions of CC BY-NC-SA and compatible licenses; such text will be identified on the page footer, in the page history, or on the discussion page of the article that utilizes the text. All CC BY-SA licensed content is automatically relicensed to GPLv3 when used here on Celeste Wiki, unless otherwise specified. All CC BY-NC-SA content licensed with a version prior to version 3.0 will be converted to version 3.0. Every image has a description page that indicates the license under which it is released, unless it is a Celeste game asset or screenshot, in which case it is tagged as such, or unless it is a [[Celeste Wiki:Copyrights#Fair use media|piece of media used under fair use]], in which case it is identified as such and the rationale is provided.
 
The licenselicenses Celeste Wiki uses grants access to our content and at least two, but not all four, of the four freedoms outlined by the GNU Project. Celeste Wiki content can be copied, modified, and redistributed if and only if the copied version is made available on the same terms to others and acknowledgment of the authors of the Celeste Wiki article used is included (a link back to the article is generally thought to satisfy the attribution requirement; see below for more details). Copied Celeste Wiki content will therefore remain free under an appropriate license and can continue to be used by anyone subject to certain restrictions, most of which aim to ensure that freedom, in a non-commercial context. This principle is known as copyleft in contrast to typical copyright licenses.
 
Celeste Wiki is also authorized to use its own content for limited commercial purposes, as outlined in the [[meta:Content Policy|Miraheze Content Policy]], including fundraisers and ''Celeste''-related commissions (affiliate links), e.g. referral links when linking to the Itch IO version of ''Celeste''. Any funds acquired via Celeste Wiki will be used to maintain Celeste Wiki itself (e.g. domain name renewal), and/or be donated to trans rights and other trans-friendly charitable organizations.

If an older version of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license is required, either one of these three licenses are approved for use, any of these licenses will be approved, as long as the same criteria within this copyrights page, including commercial use exceptions, are maintained.

For the purposes of commercial use by third parties, the GNU GPLv3 must be used. Additionally, not all pages are eligible for commercial use. Further instructions will be provided in the future.
 
Any texts that were already licensed under the terms of a commercial-permitting Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License are to be upgraded to GPLv3. This clause primarily targets templates imported from [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], which licenses its content under CC BY-SA 3.0.
 
== CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 License ==

Line 43 ⟶ 56:
 
This permission does not extend to any covers of Celeste's soundtrack, or any part of it not used or intended for use in ''Celeste''. So, any covers of Celeste's OST are NOT covered by this permission. Implicitly, this permission refers to the OST, B-Sides OST, Farewell OST and Madeline's Grab Bag, nothing else.
 
All files for Celeste's OST on this wiki are ''obfuscated'', in order to comply with Lena Raine's wishes. No download link is provided, and won't be provided on demand either. No digital restrictions management is employed, because [[User:Celeste|Celeste (admin)]] believes that DRM is universally wrong; however, this does not give you an excuse for piracy. Celeste's soundtrack is ''not'' licensed under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, any other Creative Commons license, or any other provisions enabling the sharing of such files.
 
== Fair use media ==
Line 55 ⟶ 70:
 
'''Fair use''' concerns a limited number of cases in which non-free, "all-rights-reserved" media which is not directly related to ''Celeste'' may be uploaded onto the Celeste Wiki and used without the author's prior permission. These files must not be orphaned (must be used on at least one page), and must be used on a page in which the photo is '''relevant''' and '''irreplaceable'''. Fair use does not mean that you may freely upload any file without permission.
