Announcing the arrival of the most important interplanar publication since the great _Encyclopedia of the University Eternal_; a wholly remarkable tome, more popular than the _Idiots Guide to Running an Astral Business_, better selling than _Fifty More Things to do in Subjective Gravity_, and more controversial than Balyx Balators trilogy of metaphysical blockbusters: _Where the Gods Went Wrong_, _Infernus: Fairy-tale or Fiction?_, and _The Lie of Alignment_...

title: I'm Officially Licensed!
content_type: journal
date_pub: 2023-07-23T22:05:00-4:00
description: I've started hosting my own licenses on this very website.
tags: copyright licensing CC0 CC_BY_SA MIT

For the past few years, I've been releasing content under various licenses, usually linking to the "official" website for each one. But starting today, I'm looking towards the future, as I've finally added web-friendly versions of several of these licenses to [this very website](/licenses).
Right now, there's only 3 (which makes sense, since that's all I'm using at the moment), but with all of them excitement over the [<abbr title="Open RPG Creative">ORC</abbr> license](https://downloads.paizo.com/ORC_License_FINAL.pdf) (and some other OGL alternatives), who knows what this brave, licensed future will hold?
### Why Host Them Here?
Two simple reasons.
1. I like having a simple, permanent link to each license's text (ideally, with my name on said licenses).
2. If I'm going to have a simple, permanent link to each license's text, it's going to be hosted on my website.
See? Simple.
### Where Are They Being Used?
- [Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal](/licenses/cc0.html)
- Most of the client [CSS](/styles/styles.css) and [JS](/scripts/scripts.js) files here, [MythicWarsGame.com](https://www.mythicwarsgame.com/), and [PlanarVagabond.com](https://www.planavagabond.com/) are released under this license (and shipped un-minified) to make it easier for others to read the underlying #web code.
- I've been toying with some AI image generators for making simple pictures of [magic items](https://www.planarvagabond.com/magic-items/) (as well as the odd NPC), but the Federal Copyright Office says they can't be copyrighted, so I released them under this license as well.
- [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International](/licenses/cc-by-sa.html)
- Most of the content here and at my other sites (often stored in [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/) format).
- Honestly, this is my favorite license to use, as it feels like it helps others build new things without enabling over-monetization (including the scourge that are web ads).
- [The MIT License](/licenses/mit.html)
- The server-side source for most of my [server-based projects](https://git.itsericwoodward.com/explore/repos) (and most of the forks stashed on my [Github account](https://github.com/ItsEricWoodward)) are released under this license
I'm working on a few other fun projects right now, and I figure that having these links will be increasingly useful if and when I get them to launch.
Until next time, here's to the future!
