License types. What are there and what to choose?

Question

Licenses for software and other works

Gentlemen, the question of choosing a license for wiki materials has become acute.
I decided that nothing bad would happen, but it would be possible to catch and share good things if we made the process of developing a game project transparent and accessible to the public. I made a dev wiki with concept doc, design doc, etc., but now it's standard for dokuwiki: creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

I don't have fluent English, and a mistake can cost a lot . I want the license to allow the material to be studied, quoted (with the source indicated), referenced, but not used for personal or commercial purposes.

PS Judging by what I could understand from the link above, does this license just suit me?

Answer 1

Can you please tell me how you can "study, quote and refer" but "not use for personal purposes"?

Answer 2

You can “study the material” for yourself, without re-uploading anywhere, any and without any licenses.
To “quote”, no licenses are also needed, since this is expressly permitted by law, and the source must be indicated according to the same law.
"Refer" - what does it mean? Links to put and so you can on any site.
It is impossible to make a “do not use for personal purposes” condition, because such use is always expressly permitted by law.
Further. I don't know what the documents are, but there is no way you can stop someone from making a game based on your ideas, since ideas and facts are not protected by copyright anywhere in the world.
The only thing that can be defended is a specific implementation (+ US software patent), a specific verbal presentationplot (the plot itself is not protected - Pinocchio, Tanya Grotter, etc. are completely legal) and the specific names of the characters.
Licenses are needed exactly for what they are needed for and for what is written in them . Read. There are enough materials in Russian.
If your wiki has a CC-BY-NC-SA license and someone unknown adds the perfect text (well, or an image, or a sound recording) for the game, then you will not be able to use it in your own game in a commercial way, because the license is yours. The wiki forbids commercial use by anyone except this unknown author.
So consider a free license (but then you'll allow everyone to use it commercially) and/or a transfer of rights to you or your organization for every text contributed to the wiki.

Answer 3

Yes, this license suits your requirements well.
