Legal, Disclaimers, and CC License

 

This site, and these projects, are designed to offer the maximum amount of freedom for other creators who may want to play with the site's contents. As such, a more elaborate legal disclaimer than usual is unfortunately necessary. Any and all questions about the legality of anything on this website can be sent to admin@patchworkearth.net.

 

  • All written works on this website, unless otherwise explicitly stated on this page or elsewhere on the site, are available under the following Creative Commons license and follows the guidelines of said license. For more information on Creative Commons, you can visit their website. The following license allows derivative works, including those of a commercial nature, as long as they attribute me as the work's initial creator and are applicable to the same license.

  • All written works co-written with another creator (including, but not limited to, those co-written with J. Christian Leblanc, Richard Carbonneau, and Justin Isis,) are not available under a CC license unless otherwise explicitly stated on this page or elsewhere - as I cannot speak for that creator with regards to the work's release. All of said works appear here with permission.

  • All written works featuring characters or other concepts not created by the author (including, but not limited to, the Paradigm canon stories,) are not available under a CC license. Said works are presented here with the creator's permission and full knowledge, or otherwise fall under the rules of fair use - but I do not own the rights to this material, and do not offer such up for free use.

  • All images, sound files, or other creative works featured on the site created by this site's owner fall under the aforementioned Creative Commons license.

  • All text, images, sound files, or other creative works featured on the site that are not created by this site's owner are not available under the aforementioned license. Said works were either commissioned by the site's creator and feature characters, concepts, etc, that my property; or appear here with permission and full knowledge - but they do not belong solely to me, and I will not speak for the other creators in how the work will be distributed.

  • If any text, images, sound files, or other creative works created by others than myself appear anywhere on this site and said creator disapproves of their use - speaking primarily, but not solely, of previously commissioned artwork featuring my own concepts and characters, made by creators with whom I've since unfortunately lost contact - I am available to discuss their removal from the site at admin@patchworkearth.net. (Note: I have lost sources of attribution for some of these pieces of artwork - I want to rightly credit your work, please contact me if you find this website!)

  • Pages hosted by http://www.patchworkearth.net/ that are not part of the Patchwork Earth project and thus not part of the general site's content - typically work by other creators - do not fall under the aforementioned license unless otherwise explicitly stated here or elsewhere.

  • This license is unchangeable and all works that fall under the aforementioned license will never cease to be available by said license; however, the site itself is ever-evolving, and new provisions to this legal disclaimer
