All creative works are copyrighted, by international agreement, unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed. Generally, Chalo Chatu must have permission to use copyrighted works. There are some circumstances under which copyrighted works may be legally utilized without permission. However, it is our goal to be able to freely redistribute as much of Chalo Chaty's material as possible, so original images and sound files licensed under CC BY-SA and GFDL (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts) or in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use or otherwise. . | All creative works are copyrighted, by international agreement, unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed.

If you want to import media (including text) that you have found elsewhere, and it does not meet the non-free content policy and guideline , you can only do so if it is public domain or available under terms that are compatible with the CC BY-SA license. If you import media under a compatible license which requires attribution, you must, in a reasonable fashion, credit the author(s). You must also in most cases verify that the material is compatibly licensed or public domain. If the original source of publication contains a copyright disclaimer or other indication that the material is free for use, a link to it on the media description page or the article's talk page may satisfy this requirement. If you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under compatible terms, you must make a note of that fact (along with the relevant names and dates) and verify this through one of several processes. | |||
