Licensing/sharing

Once information – or misinformation – is published, it can be circulated, repeated and shared. But the exact format in which the information is published – the text, picture, music or whatever – belongs to the person who created it, and so reproducing it without permission (as opposed to reporting or describing it) is illegal.

If you intend to reproduce any part of this blog, please read what follows.
