Article content on the Portal Wiki is licensed under a [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)] license. Unless otherwise noted (e.g. on official artwork images), content from this site may be used freely anywhere on the web, including for commercial purposes, as long as attribution is preserved.
This notably differs from the [https://combineoverwiki.net/ Combine Overwiki] where the content is under a [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)] license, which is a very permissive license as well but has the extra requirement that content derived from it must be shared under a ShareAlike license (which CC BY 4.0 is not, because it does not have this ShareAlike condition).
'''What this means in a nutshell''': Content from the Portal Wiki ''may'' be freely copied onto the Combine Overwiki, but content from the Combine Overwiki ''may not'' be copied onto the Portal Wiki, as this would violate the Combine Overwiki license's ShareAlike clause.
