Most wikis release content under a free license. However, since Fleff is not comfortable releasing the rules of the war game under such a license, instead, all edits on this wiki are copyrighted. Every editor which makes an edit retains the copyright of their own personal contributions to the extent that they are copyrightable. Once an edit is made, such editor grants this wiki a '''permanent''' and '''irrevocable''' license to retain and display any such edit '''in perpetuity'''. This permission also includes permitting such edits to be removed, expanded upon, or changed by others. Editors are more than free to use their own content in other contexts outside this wiki, including commercially, provided such use does not conflict with the license granted to this wiki to retain and display it. This permission is granted on an '''edit-by-edit basis''' per the relevant string of text near or around the "Save changes" button.

The above legal mumbo-jumbo is largely to avoid scenarios of editors which leave or are removed from the community "under a cloud" attempting to harm the wiki by demanding their contributions be removed.

Polite requests to remove some content, assuming it does not cause undue strain on the war game or wiki administrators, are likely to be accepted.
