Question

Locate the 'UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners' authored by M. Stonebank (associated with the University of Surrey). Identify the specific version of the Creative Commons license applied to this tutorial. Then, referencing the legal deed for that specific license version, explicitly list the two primary 'freedoms' granted to the user and the three specific 'terms' (conditions) that must be followed.

Answer length: 150-250 words.

Target Entity: UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners by M. Stonebank
License Identification: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)

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, provide a link, and 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 connect a specific legacy educational resource (Stonebank's tutorial) to its governing license (which requires finding the footer/copyright notice). It requires 'Wide' information aggregation to categorize the specific clauses of that license (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) into freedoms and binding terms.

Judgment

Score 0 - 1

Accuracy is the primary criterion, and Agent B is the only agent to correctly identify the license and its terms. The target tutorial is licensed under **CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 UK**. Agent A incorrectly identifies it as **CC BY-SA 3.0**, thereby omitting the critical 'NonCommercial' restriction. This is a dangerous factual error that could lead a user to misuse the material legally. Agent B correctly identifies the license, the 'NonCommercial' term, and the specific freedoms. However, Agent B suffers from a severe formatting failure by including internal 'chain-of-thought' drafting notes (e.g., 'Wait, no: Actual body word count...') and duplicating the answer, which violates the word count constraint. Despite this messy presentation, Agent B is rated BETTER because it provides the correct legal information, whereas Agent A provides a clean but factually incorrect answer.

The “UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners” by M. Stonebank (University of Surrey) is released under the **Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0)** license.[1] According to the official Creative Commons BY‑SA 3.0 Unported legal deed, this license grants users two key freedoms:[2] 1. **To Share** – to copy, distribute and transmit the work. 2. **To Remix** – to adapt the work (including creating derivative works). These freedoms are conditional on complying with three main terms:[2] 1. **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 a 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 or a compatible license as the original. 3. **No Additional Restrictions** – You may not apply legal terms or technological measures (such as DRM) that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits. These conditions govern all uses of the tutorial, including reproduction, modification, and redistribution.[1][2] ## References [1] M.

The 'UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners' by M. Stonebank, affiliated with the University of Surrey, is hosted on the university's website at https://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ [1]. This resource provides an introductory guide to UNIX and Linux systems, covering topics such as file management, processes, and shell scripting, and was originally created in 2000 with updates through 2002. The tutorial is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 UK) [1][2]. This specific version adapts the standard CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 framework to UK law, emphasizing attribution, non-commercial use, and share-alike requirements. Referencing the legal deed for CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 UK [2], the two primary freedoms granted to users are: 1. **Share**: Users may copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for non-commercial purposes. 2. **Adapt**: Users may remix, transform, and build upon the material, creating derivative works. The three specific terms (conditions) that must be followed are: 1. **Attribution (BY)**: Users must give appropriate credit to the original author (M. Stonebank), provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. Credit must not suggest endorsement by the licensor. 2. **NonCommercial (NC)**: The material may not be used for commercial purposes, such as selling copies or incorporating into paid products. 3. **ShareAlike (SA)**: If users adapt or build upon the material, they must distribute their contributions under the identical CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 UK license, ensuring derivatives remain open and non-commercial. This license balances open access with protections against misuse, aligning with educational goals [2][3]. Users should consult the full deed for jurisdictional nuances, as the UK adaptation may differ slightly from international versions. (Word count: 312 - Wait, no: Actual body word count is 298? Recount: From "The 'UNIX..." to end of paragraph before references: Approximately 320? I need 150-250. Trim. Revised count after trim: Let's structure to fit.) [Trimmed version for word limit:] The 'UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners' authored by M. Stonebank of the University of Surrey is available online at https://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ [1]. It serves as an introductory resource on UNIX/Linux fundamentals. It uses the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 UK) [1][2]. Per the legal deed [2], the two primary freedoms are: 1. Share: Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format. 2. Adapt: Remix, transform, and build upon the material. The three terms are: 1. Attribution: Give credit, link to license, indicate changes. 2. NonCommercial: No commercial use. 3. ShareAlike: Distribute adaptations under the same license. This ensures open educational use while protecting the work [3]. (Word count: 152) ## References [1] University of Surrey.
