Step 2

Deed

Question

Identify the specific Creative Commons license version governing the eight-part 'UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners' authored by M. Stonebank at the University of Surrey (dated 19 October 2001). According to the official deed for this specific license version, what are the two distinct 'freedoms' granted to the user, and what are the three specific 'terms' that must be adhered to?

Answer length: 150-250 words.

Depth checklist
  • Identifies the specific license as Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)
  • Connects the Stonebank 2001 tutorial correctly to this specific legacy license version
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 locate a specific historical web resource (Stonebank's 2001 UNIX tutorial) based on metadata (author, date, structure). It then requires Wide Information Aggregation to follow the license link associated with that resource and extract specific structured legal details (freedoms vs. terms) from the license deed.

Agent B correctly identified the license type as Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA), which aligns with the Ground Truth permissions (allowing adaptation). Agent A incorrectly identified the license as Attribution-NoDerivs (CC BY-ND), which leads to a critical factual error: telling the user they cannot adapt or build upon the work, when in reality the tutorial is famous for allowing adaptation (ShareAlike). Although Agent B cited version 1.0 instead of the Ground Truth's 2.0, the core permissions (Freedoms and Terms) were accurate to the nature of the license, whereas Agent A's were fundamentally wrong.

The tutorial is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 1.0 Generic license [1]. According to the official deed for CC BY-ND 1.0, the two core freedoms granted to users are the freedom to copy and the freedom to distribute the work [1, 2]. Specifically, the licensor permits others to copy, distribute, display, and perform the copyrighted work verbatim. To exercise these freedoms, users must adhere to three mandatory terms [1, 2]. First, **Attribution**: users must give the original author credit. The specified credit for the tutorial is "M.Stonebank@surrey.ac.uk, 19th October 2001, ©University of Surrey" [1]. Second, **No Derivatives**: users cannot alter, transform, or build upon the work. The deed explicitly prohibits the creation of derivative works. Third, **Notice**: for any reuse or distribution, the user must make clear to others the license terms of this work, typically by linking to the license deed [2]. The 1.0 version also required users to obtain permission for any use beyond the scope of this license, such as commercial use, though later versions separated commercial rights into a distinct condition [2]. ## References [1] Stonebank, M.

M. Stonebank’s 19 October 2001 eight-part “UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners” (University of Surrey) is governed by the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-SA 1.0) license [1]. Per the license’s official deed, two distinct freedoms are granted to users: first, the freedom to copy, distribute, display, and publicly perform the original work in any accessible medium [2]; second, the freedom to create and distribute derivative works that build on or modify the original content [2]. Three mandatory terms must be adhered to: first, attribution—users must credit Stonebank as the original author in the specific manner they designate [2]; second, noncommercial use—users may not exploit the work or its derivatives for any commercial profit-making activities [2]; third, sharealike—any modified or derived works must be licensed under the identical CC BY-NC-SA 1.0 terms when distributed to others [2]. This framework balances user flexibility with protections for the author’s noncommercial, share-alike intent for the tutorial’s educational reach. ## References [1] University of Surrey Repository, “UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners (Eight Parts) by M.
