UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners

Step 2

Deed

Question

Identify the specific Creative Commons license version applied to the 'UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners' authored by M. Stonebank (associated with the University of Surrey). According to the official deed for that specific license version, what are the two distinct 'Freedoms' granted to the user, and what are the three specific 'Terms' (conditions) that must be met to exercise those freedoms?

Answer length: 150-250 words.

Depth checklist
  • Correct License Identification: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)
  • Source Validation: Confirms the license is associated with M. Stonebank's UNIX tutorial.
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 (must give appropriate credit, link license, 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 legacy educational resource (Stonebank's UNIX tutorial) to its specific legal framework (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0), which is not explicitly named in the tutorial text provided but implied by the link/context. It then requires Wide aggregation to retrieve the specific clauses (Freedoms vs. Terms) from the license deed itself.

Judgment

Tie
BOTH
Score 0 - 0

Both agents failed the Deep Logic check by misidentifying the license and providing factually incorrect legal information. 1. **License Identification**: The Ground Truth establishes the license as **CC BY-NC-SA 2.0** (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike). - **Agent A** identified it as CC BY-SA 2.0 (Missing 'NonCommercial'). - **Agent B** identified it as CC BY-SA 4.0 (Missing 'NonCommercial' and wrong version). 2. **Critical Hallucination**: Because both agents missed the 'NonCommercial' clause, they both explicitly stated that **commercial use is allowed** (Agent A: "including commercial use"; Agent B: "even commercially"). This is a severe error that directly contradicts the license terms. 3. **Missing Terms**: The prompt asked for 'three specific Terms'. The correct answer includes 'NonCommercial'. Since both agents identified the wrong license, they both failed to list this term, forcing them to invent/stretch a third term (like 'No additional restrictions') to meet the count. While Agent A correctly used the University of Surrey source (whereas Agent B used a personal mirror), its failure to correctly read the license on that page results in a 'Low Quality Tie' alongside Agent B.

The 'UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners' by M. Stonebank, hosted by the University of Surrey, is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 (CC BY-SA 2.0) [1]. This license grants users two fundamental freedoms: the freedom to copy, distribute, and transmit the work, and the freedom to adapt, remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, including commercial use [2]. These freedoms are subject to three specific terms. First, users must provide appropriate attribution to the original author, M. Stonebank, and include a link to the license deed [2]. Second, if the work is modified or built upon, the resulting derivative must be distributed under the same license terms, ensuring that downstream users have the same rights (the ShareAlike condition) [2]. Third, while the license permits broad reuse, it does not grant any additional permissions beyond those explicitly stated; any of the restrictions imposed by the license, such as proper attribution and license compatibility, must be strictly followed to remain compliant [2]. These terms ensure that the original creator receives credit and that the openness of the work is preserved in any subsequent sharing or adaptation. The University of Surrey's hosting of the material confirms its adherence to this licensing framework [1]. ## References [1] https://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ [2] https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/

The "UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners" by M. Stonebank is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license [1]. According to the official deed for this version, the two distinct **"Freedoms"** granted to the user are: (1) **"Share"** — to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format, and (2) **"Adapt"** — to remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially [2]. To exercise these freedoms, the user must comply with three specific **"Terms"** (conditions). They are: **Attribution** — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use [2]. **ShareAlike** — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the **same license** as the original (CC BY-SA 4.0) [2]. **No additional restrictions** — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits [2]. This term is intrinsic to the license's design, ensuring downstream freedom. ## References [1] Stonebank, M. "UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners." University of Surrey.
