  1. Wiki pages made must be related to PenguinMod. This can mean also mods of PenguinMod.
  2. Everything in this wiki, unless otherwise specified, is under the GNU GPL v3 license. The primary reason for this, is so that everything on this wiki may not break the licenses of PenguinMod, TurboWarp, and Scratch, this is called being compatible. The GPL is compatible with the MIT/Expat/X11 license,[1][2][3] which is the license software created for and by PenguinMod uses, the BSD-3-Clause/Modified BSD license,[4] which is the primary license used by Scratch, CC-BY[5] and CC-BY-SA[6], and most of any "Public Domain" license. The GPL is used by TurboWarp, and PenguinMod on some repositories.
  3. Wiki pages cannot contain material intended to offend. This includes the usage of slurs, insults (outside of quotes), or other material that such an author would know would cause offense.
