The informal version: The copyright information, privacy policy and disclaimers below shouldn’t cause major problems for most people. Basically, they list what I do and don’t own the copyright to, what information is collected when you use this site (pretty much the same information any blog collects), and clarifies that, as with any site, you accept the small risk of infection by malicious code.

The formal version: This page, as with all content on the site, is subject to change at any time without notice. In using this site, you agree to the policies below. If you do not accept anything below, you should not use the site.

Change History

The Risk Disclaimer section was added on 11 May, 2008.

Creative Commons licences have been periodically reviewed:

The rest of the information on this page was last revised on 7 April, 2007.

Most of the content on this site consists of:

  • Fair use excerpts, such as quotes from websites,
  • Work licensed by the original author for redistribution, such as comics released under a Creative Commons Licence,
  • Content which the copyright owner has explicitly given me permission to publish, such as original artwork, or
  • Comments on posts.

In most of these cases, copyright remains with the original owner and the posting of the content on this blog does not imply that I own the copyright. Whenever I do post copyrighted material, I endeavour to provide a link to the source. However, the lack of a link to a source should not be taken as an indication that I own the copyright. While I do my best to acknowledge copyright it is possible, for instance, that I have forgotten to include a credit on a post somewhere. If you think this might be the case, please tell me.

Copyright of comments on posts is retained by the original author, but in commenting you grant me perpetual use of the content of the comment and submitted name/web site in attribution, including the right to edit or alter them as I see fit. However, this is only likely to happen to correct inappropriate/offensive comments, if they aren’t removed completely. The original author is responsible and liable for the contents of their original comment, while I accept responsibility for any edits I make.

Creative Commons LicenseWith the above in mind, material to which I own the copyright is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales licence. This does not affect your fair use rights.
