Wikia Move/Community poll

The Wikia move is generating a lot of negative reactions. This page is intended to consolidate the viewpoints and to gauge the amount of support for each viewpoint. Please endorse all statements you support, or write your own summary. You may also indicate opposition to a view, but also consider another statement if your point of view is not represented here.


 * This page is not intended for the community to "control" the sale of GameWikis to Wikia, which has already happened. It is merely a place for concise summaries of the major points of view, with an indication of the level of support for each view. Those who object to the sale or wish to seek remedies, legal or otherwise, for (perceived or actual) wrongs should contact the involved parties directly.
 * In order for this page to be useful, it has to be concise. Please avoid repetition.
 * THIS IS NOT A VOTE!

GuildWiki is non-commercial
This is not a matter of concensus, really. The license makes it clear that no-one is able to profit from this except to keep the servers active. That means no personal gain.

Phil (Gravewit) is entitled to recoup his financial losses hosting the GuildWiki
While the GuildWiki is not a commercial entity, it is not a charity either. Gravewit is entitled to recover all money he has lost hosting this site. This includes lost income from his time commitment. There is nothing illegal about running ads per se, or selling the Guildwiki to Wikia per se, as long as Gravewit simply recovers his losses.

Phil (Gravewit) or Wikia should disclose details of GuildWiki's finances
Much of the apparent community outrage stems from Gravewit's secrecy about the monies involved. Gravewit or Wikia should publicly declare the GuildWiki's valuation to end the rampant speculation on how much Gravewit has personally profited from the transfer.

Phil (Gravewit) had retained full ownership of all tangible GameWikis assets
Until the transfer to Wikia, Gravewit was the sole owner of the server(s) and the GameWikis domain names. Being personal property, he has always had the right to do with them as he pleased, including sell them to a second party. Any donations received by Gravewit were never intended to transfer equity in GameWikis to the donaters. All agreements, verbal or otherwise, between Gravewit and third parties that were not concluded with legally binding contracts are not, and were never, operative.

The Creative Commons by-nc-sa 2.0 is a distribution license covering the content of the GameWikis wikis, not an ownership contract covering any tangible GameWikis assets. The contents of the wikis are not, and have never been, GameWikis assets.

The legality of the transfer to Wikia depends on what was sold
Because the Creative Commons by-nc-sa 2.0 is a distribution license, all contributors retain perpetual original copyright on their contributions. Gravewit is prevented from selling these contributions for personal profit according to clause 4(c) of the license. However, he is allowed to sell all GameWikis assets that he owns. As long as Wikia has not given any money to Gravewit in exchange for the database, which Gravewit does not own, the sale cannot be illegal on licensing terms.

The use of CC-NC content prohibits GameWikis or the owner from turning a profit
If GameWikis, either through ad revenue or sales, earned a single dime of profit, then GameWikis is (was) a commercial enterprise and in breach of the Creative Commons by-nc-sa 2.0 license. Furthermore, Wikia as a for-profit commercial enterprise cannot host CC-NC content to earn revenue.

The use of an NC license is meant, in spirit, as insurance against the very situation this wiki finds itself in.

 * 1) The key phrase in 4.c. is "primarily intended for". If ads are placed on the site to pay the hosting bills, and happen to generate more revenue than needed, it's arguable that the site is still not "primarily intended for" monetary compensation even if it's earning a profit. However, the license clearly rules out something such as use by commercial entities that plan for, and receive, a net profit on every page view. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 15:28, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

Wikia can receive advertisement income via NC content, as long as they do not keep anything over what's needed to break even with the cost of hosting it (even if they are a for-profit commercial enterprise).

The use of CC-NC content prohibits ads altogether
BY-CC-NC prohibits all forms of financial gain, even if it is being raised for the cost of paying for/maintaining the servers. That means that no money can be generated on a wiki, no matter what.
