The fundamental ethos of this Creative Commons license means that you are free to 'share' its content in any medium or format, and you are also free to 'remix' (alter, modify, transform or build upon) – for any purpose, even commercially; but you must 'attribute' the work to all of its author(s) – you must give appropriate credit, you must also provide a link (URL) to the relevant license, and you must also indicate if any changes have been made to it. You can provide this attribution in any reasonable manner, but you must not indicate in any way that the original licensor recommends or endorses you or your usage. If you 'remix' (alter, modify, transform or build upon) and redistribute that said modified material, you must use the same license as the original.

In practice, this particular Creative Commons license means that you are providing 'free content', albeit with some rights reserved. It is recommended by Creative Commons for use on 'Free Cultural Works'.

The CC-BY-SA 3.0 license is the license under which this WikiIndex wiki project is released. And the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license is the primary license used by most of the major projects of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), and also used by nigh-on the whole Wikia project. [1]
