Attribution under a Creative Commons licence is a condition rather than a courtesy, and a line of small grey text under a photograph is the minimum rather than the discharge of it. So: names, licences, sources, and what we did to each image.
01Photography
Sourced under licences that permit commercial use without attaching obligations to the page around them, then treated so that they sit in a designed layout rather than on top of one.
02Accepted
Narrowed at the point of search rather than argued about afterwards.
CC0 and public domain
No conditions at all. The creator has given the work away, and we credit them anyway because taking a gift silently is a poor way to behave.
CC BY
Attribution required and that is the whole condition. Commercial use is permitted and no obligation attaches to anything we build around it.
Excluded
Share-alike
CC BY-SA requires derivative works to carry the same licence. Our treatments are derivative works, and the obligation would reach into a commercial page. Excluded at the point of search rather than argued about later.
Non-commercial
NC licences prohibit exactly what this is. Excluded for the same reason.
No-derivatives
Every photograph here is cropped and graded. ND forbids that.
03Type
Self-hosted rather than linked, so no visitor request leaves our origin to collect them and the build is reproducible.
The display face. Every heading on this site.
Body text, shipped as a variable font so one file covers every weight.
Code, figures and the small labels. Static rather than variable, because that family is.
04Software
A partial list, weighted towards the things this site would visibly be worse without.
Static site framework. This site ships no JavaScript on most pages because of it.
The utility layer the design system is expressed in.
Every AVIF and WebP on this site, and the duotone treatments, came out of it.
The browser that takes our review screenshots and runs the accessibility checks.
The accessibility rule engine every page on this site is checked against.
The API and the database layer behind all of it.
Tell us and we will correct it the same day, or take it down if you would rather. We would rather hear from you directly than be right about a licence and wrong about the person.
