License and Copyright

This page summarizes rights, licenses, and procedures for content on this site. Read it before using or contributing materials.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, site content is owned or licensed to the Site. You are granted a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable license to view, download, and print content for personal, non‑commercial use only, subject to the licenses noted below.
Certain materials on the Site are licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution‑NonCommercial‑ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY‑NC‑SA 4.0). Those items will be clearly marked. For marked CC‑licensed materials, reuse must comply with CC BY‑NC‑SA 4.0 terms (credit the author, indicate changes, do not use for commercial purposes, and distribute derivatives under the same license).

Required elements: credit the author (if identified), the title (if available), a link to the source on this Site, and a link to the CC BY‑NC‑SA 4.0 license. If you made changes, state that changes were made. Example attribution: “Title — Author (site), used under CC BY‑NC‑SA 4.0; changes made.”
Do not imply endorsement by the author or the Site.

By posting or submitting content to the Site you warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant the license below. You retain copyright in your contributions.
License granted to the Site: you grant the Site a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free, sublicensable license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display, perform, transmit, adapt, and otherwise use your contributions in connection with the Site’s operations and promotion, and to make those contributions available to users of the Site and its services. This license is perpetual but may be terminated as to future uses if you remove the content where reasonably practicable; it does not affect uses already made before termination.
Moral rights: To the extent permitted by law, you waive or agree not to assert moral rights in your contributions so the Site may use, modify, or reformat them; where a full waiver is not enforceable, you grant the Site a license to exercise any moral‑right‑equivalent permissions necessary for the uses above.
Third‑party rights: You represent and warrant that you own your contribution or have obtained all necessary rights, permissions, consents, and clearances (including rights in any included trademarks, images of identifiable persons, or music) to grant the license above and that use of your contribution by the Site will not violate any law or third‑party right.

The Site may edit, remove, re‑categorize, or otherwise modify contributions for clarity, formatting, or legal compliance. The Site does not claim ownership of your contributions beyond the license granted above.
The Site will attribute contributions in accordance with the contributor’s stated name or handle unless legally required to withhold attribution.

Feedback, ideas, suggestions, or other submissions provided to the Site are treated as non‑confidential. By submitting them you grant the Site the same license described in Section 3 for such submissions. You waive any claim to confidentiality or compensation for those submissions.

Content marked CC BY‑NC‑SA 4.0 may not be used for commercial purposes as defined by the CC license. If you wish to use material for commercial purposes, contact the rights holder for a separate license. The Site’s proprietary materials are subject to the restrictions stated on the Site and are not covered by the CC license unless explicitly marked.

You warrant that your contributions comply with these terms and applicable law. You agree to indemnify and hold the Site harmless from claims arising from your contributions, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
The Site provides content “as is” and disclaims all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Site’s liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

The Site respects intellectual property rights. If you believe your copyrighted work has been posted on the Site without authorization, submit a notification that complies with DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to the Site’s designated agent (contact details below). Your notification must include the elements listed in the DMCA statute. Note that knowingly misrepresenting infringement may lead to liability.
DMCA Designated Agent: Retired Techie
Email: rt@retiredtechie.com
Upon receipt of a proper notification, the Site will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and will forward the notification to the contributor. The Site will also follow applicable rules for counter‑notifications.

If you believe material removed or disabled was done by mistake, you may submit a written counter‑notification that meets the DMCA requirements, including a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the applicable federal district court (or, if you are outside the U.S., an appropriate jurisdiction statement), and your contact information. If a valid counter‑notice is received, the Site will follow DMCA procedures and may restore the material unless a complainant files a court action.

These terms are governed by the laws applicable to the Site’s place of incorporation, except where mandatory law requires otherwise. If you are located outside that jurisdiction, you may have additional consumer protections. The Site will consider reasonable alternative dispute terms for non‑domestic users as required by local law.

The Site may update these terms; the “Last updated” date will reflect changes. Continued use after posting constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
