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 two different licenses. Most of Celeste Wiki's text and some of its images are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported 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 licenses Celeste Wiki uses grants access to our content and all 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.
