Copyrights and Trademarks

Most of my projects are built using open source software and inspired by things found online from publicly-accessible web sites. Therefore I only lay claim to copyright or trademark on those items I specifically identify as my own. I will make my best effort to give proper attribution to copyright and trademark holders when I can reasonably determine them. Wherever reasonably possible I will also identify project sources how I found them. I do not perform an exhaustive searches for the provenance of every project or idea, but if you find something on this site that is yours, then please let me know and I’ll be glad to discuss proper attribution or removal of it. I have no funds available for licensing, so don’t get your hopes up.
