Licensing and Attribution¶
EEDIY treats site code, original editorial content, and third-party resources as separate layers. A link to freely accessible material does not place that material under this project’s license.
License layers¶
| Material | Default license | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration, scripts, styles, and site code | MIT License | Use, modify, and distribute while preserving copyright and license text |
| Original guides, selection notes, and route prose | CC BY 4.0 | Share and adapt with attribution, license link, and change notice |
| EEDIY name and brand mark | Project identifier | The licenses do not grant trademark rights or allow an unofficial derivative to appear official |
| Third-party courses, video, books, papers, code, data, and marks | Their owners’ terms | This project normally provides links and original summaries, not relicensing |
| Third-party excerpts in contributions | Source license and applicable quotation limits | State source, scope, and license; omit when permission is unclear |
Citing this site¶
Include page title, contributors, license, page link, access date, and changes:
EEDIY Contributors, “Page title,” CC BY 4.0, accessed YYYY-MM-DD, page link. Changes: translated and condensed.
When citing a course fact, also cite the official source. An EEDIY verification record says what contributors observed on a particular date; the official page remains authoritative for course identity, policy, and materials.
What is and is not permitted¶
Permitted¶
- Adapt an original route in a syllabus or article with CC BY 4.0 attribution.
- Reuse site code while preserving the MIT notice.
- Link to a specific page and explain where you adopt or reject its judgment.
- Contribute translations, corrections, and short properly sourced excerpts.
Not permitted¶
- Copy an entire linked course, textbook, video collection, or solution set into this repository.
- Remove third-party copyright, license, authorship, or access limits.
- Present an EEDIY link as relicensing third-party material.
- Use the name, mark, and visual appearance to mislead readers that a derivative is official.
- Upload personal data, secrets, controlled technical information, or material that violates academic-integrity rules.
Broken links and rights requests¶
For a broken link, misattribution, incompatible license, or material that should not appear, provide:
- the exact page and passage;
- your relationship to the material, when relevant;
- original rights or license evidence;
- the requested correction, replacement, or removal;
- safety or legal urgency.
Maintainers should prevent further distribution of disputed material when appropriate, retain the minimum audit record, inspect the source, and document the resolution. A good-faith rights request does not require the claimant to write replacement copy.
See CONTENT_LICENSE.md and LICENSE at the repository root for the complete terms; use those files as authoritative before redistribution.
