    2- Our work can be used by everyone, with a few conditions
    Wikipedia has taken a cue from GNU/Linux and Mozilla Firefox and done away with the restrictions of traditional copyright law. Instead, we have adopted what is known as a "free content license": all text and images authored by our users are and will always remain free for anyone to copy, modify, and redistribute. We only insist that you credit the contributors, and that you do not impose new restrictions on the work or any improvements you make to it.
