Licence

XRHQ is openly licensed. You can reuse what we write — including commercially — as long as you credit us.

What the licence covers

The CC BY 4.0 mark in the site footer refers to XRHQ’s own content, set out here — not to everything that appears on a page.

Everything XRHQ writes is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. That includes our project summaries and write-ups, the alt text and captions we author, our classification of projects, and the way we select and arrange the records themselves.

You may copy it, adapt it, and build on it — for any purpose, including commercially — provided you credit XRHQ, link to the licence, and say if you changed anything. This applies whether you read the content signed in or signed out.

What isn’t ours to license

Some of what appears on XRHQ belongs to other people, so we can’t place it under this licence:

Photographs and videos supplied by the organisations and vendors involved, credited where shown.
Quotations from named people — those are their words, not ours.
The articles and press releases we cite — those remain with their publishers. We link to them; we don’t relicense them.
XRHQ’s branding and site design — the name, logo, and the look of the site itself. A Creative Commons licence never grants trademark rights, and this one doesn’t either.

Where a record draws on third-party material, our licence extends only as far as our own rights in it.

How to credit us

Use the project title, our name, and the licence. Every project page has a copy button that gives you this ready-made:

Project title — XRHQ (xrhq.com), CC BY 4.0

Where you’re referring to XRHQ as a whole rather than one project, drop the title: XRHQ (xrhq.com), CC BY 4.0. A working link back to the page you took it from is appreciated and, where practicable, the licence asks for one.

If you used AI to summarise, translate or rewrite our content, the same applies — the result is still based on our work.

If you contribute

When you submit a project, you keep the copyright in what you write. You give us permission to publish it and to make it available to others under the same CC BY 4.0 licence. The full terms are shown when you submit.

One thing worth understanding before you contribute: an open licence can’t be recalled. If you later ask us to remove your submission we will, but anyone who copied it while it was published keeps their licence to use it. Removal stops us publishing it — it can’t withdraw copies already made.

If we have used something of yours

XRHQ documents projects using material published by the organisations involved and by the press. Photographs, video, quotations and source articles belong to the people who made them, and are not covered by our licence.

If you own material we have used and you would like it credited differently, corrected, or removed, email [email protected] with a link to the page and enough detail to identify the material. We aim to acknowledge within 3 working days and to resolve it within 7. We would rather fix it than argue about it.
