Before submitting a file, please make sure you own all legal and moral rights over its contents.

For example, vocabulary lists found in books and other works may be copyright-protected, especially if the selection and arrangement of the data (e.g. by categorization) or the supplementary information provided (e.g. translations, examples of use) constitutes an original intellectual creation. The same holds for databases, as well as for the word stock introduced lesson by lesson in language-learning textbooks and courses.

Moreover, when you publish a file, it is commended to make clear which rights over the file you are granting to the users and which ones you reserve for yourself. Please include a copyright notice on card 1 of your Deck of cards. You have several options, including the following:
     

1.

  Copyright protection
-
This is the most appropriate license type if you intend to keep full control over your work. You can specify if you wish reserve all rights or waive some of the copyright restrictions.
-

Example:
-

Copyright <year> by <your name>. All rights reserved.

 

   

2.

  Creative Commons
-
This type of license provides credit to the authors but does not harness extensions or improvements other people would like to make and distribute. For more information, see

-

Example:
-

 3.

  Public domain
-
This type of license usually involves that anybody can create derivative works from it without giving credit to anyone else.
-

Example:
-
Created in <year> by <your name>. Released into the public domain, worldwide.

Furthermore, please include the following declaration in the email you are attaching your Decks of cards to:
