UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners

Step 2

Deed

Question

Locate the 'UNIX Tutorial for Beginners' originally authored by M. Stonebank at the University of Surrey. Identify the specific version of the Creative Commons license linked in the tutorial's legal or footer section. 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, particularly concerning commercial use and the distribution of modifications?

Answer length: 200-300 words.

  • Identified License: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)
  • Source Validation: Confirmed license is linked from M. Stonebank's University of Surrey 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 (give credit, link license, indicate changes)
  • Term 2: NonCommercial (may not use for commercial purposes)
  • Term 3: ShareAlike (distribute contributions under the same license)
Examiner rationale

The question requires Deep reasoning to link a specific educational resource (Stonebank's tutorial) to its governing legal document (the specific CC license version, which is 2.0, not the modern 4.0). It requires Wide information aggregation to parse the license deed and categorize the rights into specific 'Freedoms' and 'Terms' as requested.

Score 2 - 0

Agent A correctly identified the specific license (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) linked in the tutorial's footer. Crucially, it correctly identified the 'NonCommercial' term, which aligns with the tutorial's content. Agent B failed to find the specific license link, guessed incorrectly that it was 'CC BY-SA' (missing the NonCommercial constraint), and consequently provided false information stating that commercial use is allowed, which directly contradicts the tutorial's actual terms.

The tutorial "UNIX Tutorial for Beginners" by M. Stonebank from the University of Surrey carries a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 license (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) [1]. According to the official license deed, this version grants two core freedoms to users: the freedom to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work, and the freedom to make derivative works [2]. To exercise these freedoms, users must comply with three specific terms. First, Attribution (BY): You must give the original author credit as specified by the licensor. Second, Non-Commercial (NC): You may not use this work for commercial purposes, meaning it cannot be primarily intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation. Third, Share Alike (SA): If you alter, transform, or build upon the work, you may distribute the resulting derivative work only under a license identical to this one [2]. Therefore, any modifications must be shared under the same CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 license, preventing the imposition of more restrictive terms and ensuring downstream users retain the same freedoms for non-commercial use [1][2]. ## References [1] Stonebank, M.

The "UNIX Tutorial for Beginners" by M. Stonebank is hosted at the University of Surrey's site (info-ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/), with the main index at https://info-ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ and download page at https://info-ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/download.html[1][2]. The footer and legal sections state it is "licensed under a **Creative Commons License**," but do not specify the exact version or link a deed directly in the provided snippets[1][2]. Given the tutorial's origin around 2001 (dated 19 October 2001 and © 9th October 2000), it aligns with early Creative Commons licenses, most commonly **CC BY-SA 1.0** or **2.0** for shareable educational content allowing modifications (as explicitly permitted for non-commercial site use and staff training, but not selling)[1]. No precise version link appears in the footer across mirrors[3][5][7]. Per the official deed for **CC BY-SA 2.0** (a common early version matching permissions): **Two distinct 'Freedoms' granted:** 1. Freedom to **copy, distribute, display, and perform** the work. 2. Freedom to **make derivative works** (modify/adapt)[creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/legalcode]. **Three specific 'Terms' (conditions):** 1. **Attribution**: Credit the author as specified. 2. **ShareAlike**: Distribute derivatives under the same license. 3. **Commercial use allowed** without restriction (beyond other terms), but **modifications distributed** must use identical license terms[creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/legalcode]. This fits the tutorial's notes prohibiting sale but allowing commercial training copies[1].
