Summary of Approach

This section gives a brief overview on the licensing approach to MIKE2.0, which:

Allows you to:

• Freely use the MIKE2.0 Methodology, in whole or in part, for personal, company internal, or commercial purposes;
• Use the MIKE2.0 Methodology in packages or distributions that you create.

Forbids you to:

• Redistribute any piece of the MIKE2.0 methodology without proper attribution;
• Use any marks owned by the MIKE2.0 Governance Association in any way that might state or imply that it endorses your distribution;
• Use any marks owned by MIKE2.0 Governance Association in any way that might state or imply that you created the MIKE2.0 Methodology in question.

Requires you to:

• Provide clear attribution of the original source for any distributions that include the MIKE2.0 Methodology

Does not require you to:

• Include the full content of the MIKE2.0 Methodology, in any redistribution you may assemble that includes it;
• Include the source of any software from the MIKE2.0 Methodology that you used, or of any modifications you may have made to it, in any redistribution you may assemble that includes it;
• Submit changes that you make to the methodology back to the MIKE2.0 Governance Association (though such feedback is encouraged).

Providing Attribution

Summary Guidelines

If you are using content from MIKE2.0, you must give proper attribution. This involves the following:

• List a reference to the MIKE2.0 Methodology. This can be at an overall level or to a specific article. Generally, if the reference crosses several articles then reference the overall MIKE2.0 Methodology. If it is very specific then list the relevant article.
  • General reference “Source: MIKE2.0 Methodology (www.openmethodology.org)”
  • Article reference “Source: http://mike2.openmethodology.org/wiki/Data_Warehousing_Solution_Offering“
• If you are making a derivative use of a work licensed in addition to the above and this content is hosted outside the MIKE2.0 Wiki, you need to identify that your work is a derivative work, i.e. “This [document name] by [author] is based on the MIKE2.0 Methodology (www.openmethodology.org)"

Usage Example
