Terms
Dear Visitor:
While all of the following might sound intimidating, it is not meant to be. I am affording myself protection “in case of”. What I want is for people to use my work to both their and my benefit, even if the benefit to me is merely acknowledgement of my contribution.
Most people are fair and know what is right.
This document is protection against that small percentage of people that are unfair and do what is wrong.
Please enjoy my content and do let me know your use of it. If I never hear of it being used, I will never know if I have contributed to the community.
Sincerely,
Nick Staroba
