Stance on usable IP, DMCA compliance, contributor license, Commons publication license (CC-BY-SA?), and rights-holder takedown handling.
Why this matters
A world-building platform where Franchises touch existing copyrighted properties is a legal minefield. Needs an explicit stance on:
- What IP can be used and under what conditions
- DMCA compliance machinery
- Contributor license granted to OLN
- License under which Commons content is published — CC-BY-SA, platform-licensed, dual-licensed?
- What happens when a rights holder demands takedown of an entire Franchise
Memory Alpha migration (G-030) makes this immediately concrete: the migration is likely permitted under Fandom’s CC-BY-SA terms with attribution preserved, but only counsel can confirm and the answer drives the migration architecture.
