UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners

Step 2

Deed

Question

Identify the specific Creative Commons license version applied to the 'UNIX Tutorial for Beginners' authored by M. Stonebank (University of Surrey, October 2001). Based on the official deed for that specific license version, list the two primary 'freedoms' granted to the user and the three specific 'terms' or conditions that must be followed, particularly regarding commercial use and derivative works.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Depth checklist

Target Entity: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)
Logic Proof: The tutorial by M. Stonebank is explicitly licensed under this specific version (2.0), distinct from the newer 4.0 version often recommended on the deed page.

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 to the license, and indicate if changes were made)
Term 2: NonCommercial (may not use the material for commercial purposes)
Term 3: ShareAlike (if you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute contributions under the same license as the original)

Examiner rationale

The question uses deep reasoning by requiring the agent to locate a specific legacy tutorial (M. Stonebank, 2001) to determine which license version applies to it (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0). It then uses wide aggregation by asking for the specific breakdown of 'Freedoms' and 'Terms' found in the legal deed of that license, requiring the agent to parse the license details rather than just naming it.

Judgment

Better

NONE

Score 1 - 0

Both agents correctly identified the core license (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0). Agent B was technically more precise regarding the specific 'UK: England & Wales' port used on the live website, while Agent A aligned perfectly with the prompt's provided Ground Truth (Generic). However, Agent A won on User Experience and Completeness. The prompt asked to list terms 'particularly regarding commercial use and derivative works,' and Agent A provided helpful context and explanations for these terms, whereas Agent B simply pasted the brief text from the deed. Agent A's formatting (bolding, clear structure) was also superior.

Based on the official deed for this specific license version, users are granted two primary freedoms [2]: 1. **Share:** You are free to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format. This freedom allows for widespread, non-commercial dissemination and sharing of the original tutorial. 2. **Adapt:** You are free to remix, transform, and build upon the material. This allows for the creation of new works, such as updated versions or translations, based on the original tutorial. These freedoms are contingent upon following three specific terms [2]: 1. **Attribution (BY):** You must provide appropriate credit to the original author (M. Stonebank) and the University of Surrey, include a link to the CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 license, and indicate if any changes were made to the original work. 2. **NonCommercial (NC):** The material cannot be used for commercial purposes. This explicitly prohibits selling the tutorial or using it in any context intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation. 3. **ShareAlike (SA):** If you create a derivative work by remixing, transforming, or building upon the tutorial, you must distribute your new contribution under the exact same CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 license. This ensures that any subsequent works remain as open and non-commercial as the original. ## References [1] Stonebank, M. (2001). *UNIX Tutorial for Beginners*.
