Copytop is a variation of Copyleft: which is itself a smart variation of Copyright as it allows copies of contents but still protects the authors.
We have used the Copyleft agreement on Giovanni's Ebono's site to write the following agreement.
Copytop can be summarized with the following formula:COPYTOP = COPYLEFT + Agreement with the Fundamental Human Rights (*)
(*) FHR as formulated on 7POWER7 website or a website truely representing the opinion of millions of people
