Anyway, here is the list of all of the different Copyright options on wattpad.
Okay, so there are two main copyright options on here they are both extremes:
All Rights Reserved: This means that everything in your story is yours, full stop. No one can repost, copy, modify or just generally use it without your written permission. You are protected under the law.
Public Domain: Your are giving the story completely to the public, anyone can repost, copy, modify or use it without our permission. Anyone can do anything or everything to your story.
Attribution: people can change or build on your story, but they must give you credit for their inspiration (your story)
Attribution-NoDerivs: Similar to Attribution, but a bit more tame, they can't change it (at all) and must give your credit.
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike: Same as Attribution, people can change or build on your story, but they must give you credit for their inspiration (your story) but they cannot use it Commercially and they must share it under the same licence.
Attribution-ShareAlike: The same as above. but it can be used for commercial purposes.
Attribution-NonCommercial: people can change or build on your story, but they must give you credit for their inspiration (your story) but cannot use it for commercial purposes.
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs: as close to All Rights reserved as you're going to get under Creative Commons (CC). Your work can be shared by others, but they must credit you and cannot change anything. Once again, it cannot be used for commercial purposes.
Okay! So that's all of the licenses avalible to you on wattpad. Emma hopes that this has been helpful, but I don't really care. Bye!
I realy do hope that helped, and If you need any help, send us (her) a private message or just ask us (her) in the comments!
