Essentially Slovio, as a language to be used by anyone who pleases to use it, and thus it is copyright-free for users. The main reason there is a copyright notice is to keep the further development of Slovio focused and concentrated. We wanted to prevent fragmentation of the effort to further develop and improve this language by irresponsible "language inventors" who simply steal what they can from Slovio and create their own language and thus confuse the whole effort and the public. We feel that any effort to create a Slavic encyclopedia using this language, for example on Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia, don't affect this effort, since it keeps the language development focused, therefore such effort at promoting this universal language and communication have our permission, as long as they don't attempt to change the language. Any changes of the language should be first discussed and carefully considered. However any use for writing books or encyclopedias is definitely copyright-free. Please keep it focused, and standard, it will help everyone. Should you have any further questions please contact us. Fax: 001-206-666-2469, sms: +421903315800
