Free Art license
The Free Art license is a 'copyleft' license that grants the right to freely copy, distribute and transform creative works without the author's explicit permission.
Copyleft is a play on the word copyright, a general method for making a program or other work free, and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well.
The free art license recognizes and protects these rights, to allow everyone to use creations of the human mind in a creative manner, regardless of their types and ways of expression.
The invention and development of digital technologies, Internet and free software have changed creation methods: creations of the human mind can obviously be distributed, exchanged, and transformed. They allow to produce common works to which everyone can contribute to the benefit of all.
Plagiarism is defined as "the wrongful appropriation, close imitation, or stealing and publication, of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions, and the representation of them as one's own original work. The modern concept of plagiarism as immoral and originality as an ideal emerged in Europe only in the 18th century, while in the previous centuries authors and artists were encouraged to "copy the masters as closely as possible" and avoid "unnecessary invention."
Plagiarism is not a crime but is disapproved more on the grounds of a moral offence.
