In plain terms, you are free to use and adapt these materials however you like, as long as you are not making a profit, you acknowledge this web site as their source, and you make whatever you produce available under the same terms.

In several cases the texts here derive from digitized texts from other sources. We have only started from texts that are either in the public domain (such as those from the Text Creation Partnership) or have a suitably generous copyright (such as those from the Online Library of Liberty, which are free to use for educational and academic purposes).
