Copyright protects our original text, design, logo, and layout. Links and brief attributed quotations are allowed. Republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms by posting the updated version here. Continued use after a revision takes effect indicates acceptance.
