Question

Locate the 'UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners' authored by M. Stonebank at the University of Surrey (originally published around October 2001). Identify the specific version of the Creative Commons license applied to this tutorial. Then, referencing the official deed for that specific license version, list the two primary 'Freedoms' granted to the user and the three specific 'Terms' (conditions) defined under which those freedoms are exercised.

Answer length: 150-250 words.

Connected M. Stonebank's UNIX tutorial to the specific CC 2.0 license URL/Deed

Width checklist

Freedom 1: Share (copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format)
Freedom 2: Adapt (remix, transform, and build upon the material)
Term 1: Attribution (give appropriate credit, provide a link, indicate changes)
Term 2: NonCommercial (may not use the material for commercial purposes)
Term 3: ShareAlike (must distribute contributions under the same license as the original)

Examiner rationale

The question requires 'Deep' reasoning to link a specific historical web resource (Stonebank's tutorial) to its governing legal framework (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0), avoiding the trap of assuming a modern 4.0 license. It requires 'Wide' aggregation to extract specific clauses (Freedoms vs. Terms) from the resulting license deed.

Agent B correctly identified the specific license version (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 UK: England & Wales) actually used on the M. Stonebank website. Agent A incorrectly identified the license as version 3.0 Unported. Furthermore, Agent A contained a logical contradiction in its description of the 'Adapt' freedom, claiming users could build upon the material 'even commercially' while simultaneously listing 'NonCommercial' as a binding term. Agent B was accurate, specific, and free of contradictions.
