Forbids you to:

• Redistribute any piece of the MIKE2.0 methodology without proper attribution;
• Use any marks owned by the Data Governance and Management Consortium in any way that might state or imply that it endorses your distribution;

Providing Attribution

Summary Guidelines

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

1. List a reference to the MIKE2.0 Methodology. This can be at an overall level or to a specific article. Generally, if the references crosses several articles then reference the overall MIKE2.0 Methodology. If it is very specific then list the relevant article.
2. Provide the Uniform Resource Identifier for each reference, e.g. http://mike2.openmethodology.org/index.php/Data Warehousing Solution Offering
3. If you are making a derivative use of a work licensed in addition to the above and this content is hosted outside the [[MIKE2:MIKE2.0_Wiki | MIKE2.0 Wiki], you need to identify that your work is a derivative work, i.e. “This [document name] the by [author]” is based on the MIKE2.0 Methodology http://www.openmethodology.org
