If Content you provide is protected by copyright, then if it is not licensed under a Commons Attribution 3.0 license, you must not provide it to OPENCOMMONS For the avoidance of doubt, you may otherwise license your Content on any terms or no terms at all, but upon uploading or supplying Content protected by copyright to OPENCOMMONS on these Sites, you are licensing such Content under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license in addition to any such other license that may apply to your Content, and designating OPENCOMMONS (and any relevant OPENCOMMONS project) as the Attribution Party for purposes of that license.
