If you put your book on Wikibooks, you don't own it.
- aplusbi 16y agoDo you have a citation? I checked wikibook's Terms of Use and it didn't say anything about giving up ownership.
- jedsmith 16y agoI should have phrased it better. Thank you for making me go look. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Copyrights#Contributors.27_rights_and_obligations http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Copyrights#Contributo... Your submissions are automatically and irrevocably licensed GFDL and CC-BY-SA. Copyright isn't transferred, but since you cannot revoke the licensing you have (in effect) given up ownership.
- brennen 16y agoYou have in effect given out an irrevocable license to your work. This isn't practically or legally the same as giving up ownership, though it's certainly ceding a sizable measure of control.
