Copyright

Here at MetroLeft, we think that it's important that ideas and words be allowed to circulate and percolate, but at the same time we'd like to make sure that credit goes to where credit is due.

To foster these principles, all content published on this site will, by default, be copyright to the original author and licensed under a Creative Commons license.

This is only a default; if you don't like it, you are free to reserve more rights, or place your work in the public domain, or anything you want.

The terms of the default license, in non-legalese, are:

Attribution: If you e-mail or otherwise redistribute a post here, you must cite it. You are absolutely free to redistribute material, but credit must go to the original author. (Unless, of course, the original author waives credit.)

Non-Commercial: Don't take an idea from here and make money off it. Unless, of course, you ask permission. The author will probably want to get a share of the proceeds, and that is absolutely their right.

Share Alike: You are free to modify and build on stuff found here, but you must then redistribute that under this same license. This helps to preserve the "credit-where-credit-is-due" principle.

Thanks!
