UDWiki:Open Discussion/Copyright, Citations, and Attributions

I actually had a little chat with Mis regarding copy right information, and how to use it appropriately, with citations. He said as long as I attributed the work correctly I should be fine. My thoughts lay within the same realm, but thought it appropriate to establish a policy regarding copyright information.

Basically, with all the media out there, Images, the ability to upload musical media, and the like,... I figured it would be appropriate to have a policy regarding attribution of ownership. Basically something like wikipedia has for Non-Free Content, and their Copyright Policy.

To be honest, the Non-Free Content policy is more along the lines of what I had in mind when considering this, though I liked the format of wikipedia's Copyright Policy. So I'd like to discuss possibly having a policy regarding attributing ownership, rights, and copyrights to their respected owners appropriately. Also to be discussed should be what media should require citations, and attributions, as well as what should be included in the citations, and what the criteria should be for identifying material in need of this information.
