Everything on this site is copyright me, Melanie Simet, 2004, unless it's an example (in which case content is copyright the various authors as found on the bibliography, or unless it's a guest column, in which case it will be marked as such.

Anything that's my copyright can be reproduced as many times as you want for noncommercial use, as long as you leave my name on it, and can be used in a derivative work as long as you use the same license. For more information, see the Creative Commons license:

If you have any objections to content used at this site, please email mel @ world-building.net with the word "copyright" in the subject (so I don't spam-filter it out). Please realize, though, that I'm only presenting this as an educational resource, and even if something is a counterexample in one instance, I won't use it unless I think the book is in general a good example. That will be more clear when I have the annotated bibliography up.
