Does the CC license of a copy applies to adjacent texts?

In the case of a copy of a document integrated into a page with other texts, 2 cases arise:

• The copy is clearly delimited, by the means of a frame or a section: the license applies only to the copy and not to adjacent texts (unless the whole page is under the same license). The mention of the license allows this
• The copy is inserted into a paragraph, and it is difficult to apprehend the limits: one cannot distinguish the copy from adjacent texts. The whole text is then assumed like the copy, and the license applies to the whole text. Moreover, the copy has been modified: only collaborative documents can be copied this way.

How can I distribute a citation of a document of camptocamp?

Like for all content licenses (copyright, Creative Commons, GFDL, ...), the citation right applies to c2C documents. You can thus cite a few lines of an article, route, outing, forum message, etc, without caring about the restrictions of the document license, but you need to mention the author and provide a link to the source.
In addition to this, licenses apply to the formatting of a content (text or picture), but not to the information itself. The copy of an information is allways authorized (name and elevation of a summit, snow quantity, climbing grade, ...).

May I copy a text or a picture from another website to camptocamp?

2 cases aries:

The licenses are compatible

For example, the geological description of a massif on another website is under a CC-by-sa license, and one wants to copy it into the massif's description on c2c.
In such a case, the copy is immediately possible. One only needs to mention the author and provide a link to the source (if it is on the web). The mention of the license is useless because it will be mentionned again on the bottom of the document in c2c.

The licenses are not compatible

For example, one whishes to copy a text or a picture under copyright or CC-by-nc-nd license to a collaborative document on c2C (CC-by-sa license).
In such a case, one needs to ask the author of the text or picture the authorization to broadcast it under the license that will be used on c2C. The simplest solution is to directly ask the author per email and mention a link to the license use, or to the article that describes the license of c2c contents.

I am the author of guide books, may I use the content of camptocamp?

2 cases arise:

Use of collaborative content

The CC-by-sa license authorizes commercial use. You can thus copy and modify the description of a route, hut, massif, access point, etc.
Under the condition that you mention:

• the author: camptocamp.org
• a link to the c2c document: a simplified link is enough, e.g. www.camptocamp.org/routes/53838
• the license: CC-by-sa

The modifications that you make to the text or picture can be copied on c2c.

Use of personal content

The CC-by-nc-nd license does not authorize commercial use. You thus have to ask the authorization to the author of the content. The author is mentioned on the personal document, with a link to its profile that allows you to contact him per email.
In the copy that you will broadcast, you can mention at your disposal a copyright to the name of the author, or the CC-by-nc-nd license. The author of the document can also choose to broadcast it under another license (e.g. under a CC-by-nd or CC-by-sa license).
In all case, mention a link to the original document.
