'''Copyleft''' is a [[license|licensing]] style where much of that which is or can be protected under [[copyright]] is given to the users, hence the term in Finnish is fi."käyttäjänoikeus" == en."user's right". | |||
It was first popular in [[free software]] but has since expanded to include various other types of works of art or utility, most known of which is of course the [[Wikipedia]]. | |||
