As you know (because we keep saying it til we’re blue in the face!), we aspire to compile an archive of parenting information that rivals wikipedia. You’re generously contributing a whole host of insights and learnings to this project, and so, following in the footsteps of a number of sites we admire (wikipedia, of course, as well as flickr, stackoverflow and more), we are now licensing the content on Parents Guild as Creative Commons (specifically, by-nc-sa).
After all, it’s not our content, it’s yours.
The terms of this license allow you to re-publish and adapt the work but require that you:
- Indicate that the content is from Parents Guild. Discreetly is fine, prominently is fine too.
- Hyperlink to the original question on the source site (e.g., http://parentsguild.com/post/question/26)
- Show the author names for every question, answer & comment
- Hyperlink each author name back to their user profile page on the source site (e.g., http://parentsguild.com/people/12345/guildmember_name)
We hope folks will come up with interesting things to do with it!

Note: The license covers re-publishing and adapting in a not-for-profit context (we may be a not-for-profit enterprise in the future). If you’d like to do something with the content that is for-profit, contact us.
