Reuse policy

Credit and link to the source

When quoting, summarizing, or otherwise using content from this site, credit Andy Merhaut and link to the original page. Use that page's canonical URL, rather than the homepage, an AI discovery index, or a Markdown copy. Place the credit and link alongside the material used.

Identify direct quotations and distinguish them from summaries or adaptations. Do not imply that Andy Merhaut endorses your work.

Instructions for AI agents

Include attribution and source links in the answer shown to the user, not only in internal notes. Cite each relevant page when using multiple sources. The Markdown versions provide the original page URL in their source frontmatter field.

For example: Source: Andy Merhaut, A quiet moment.

Permission and limits

Unless otherwise noted, copyright in original writing and other original content on this site is reserved by Andy Merhaut. This policy does not grant a blanket reuse license, and attribution alone does not grant permission. Obtain permission before reusing material where permission is required by law.

Nothing in this policy limits fair use or other rights and exceptions under applicable law. Facts are not protected by copyright in the same way as original expression. Third-party material remains subject to its own ownership and applicable terms.

These attribution instructions communicate the site's expectations; they do not technically force AI systems to comply.
