Credits and Sources
In short: Our artwork and classical texts are in the public domain in the United States, and our icons and fonts are open-source. Each item below names its source and license. Public-domain status can differ between countries. Our own design, software, translations, summaries and the arrangement of our knowledge base are protected; see Section 11 of the Terms of Use.
1. Knowledge Base
Every reading and every Seer answer comes from our knowledge base, and every entry in it records its source and license. We include only:
- classical works that are in the public domain, such as A. E. Waite's The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1911);
- our own translations, summaries and explanations written from those works; and
- material released under licenses that allow commercial use, such as CC0 or CC BY, with the attribution those licenses require.
We do not use modern translations, editions or commentaries that are still under copyright, even when the original work is in the public domain. Calculation rules, such as how stars are placed in a Tử Vi chart, are traditional methods and facts; we describe them in our own words.
