In the case of some images, I have been unable to identify the terms and\/or owners but since they are already available on the internet, I have either linked or made local copies in order to ensure the long term availability of the image and for performance reasons. A third reasons for storing images is that wordpress\u2019s featured image cannot&nbsp; function using a remote URL and so I have created a local\/cache copy,&nbsp; possibly resized to permit the image\u2019s use as \u2018featured\u2019 image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unsplash<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Either late 2020 or early 2021, I made <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@dfl1955\/likes\">unsplash,com<\/a> my main source of images. This was originally CC0 but they later amended it to CC0 except for the purpose of monetising a collection.\u00a0 All my unsplash copies meet their licence terms. I have usually\u00a0changed the size\u00a0and\/or cropped the pictures; these are not a derived work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">gov.uk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I have used some pictures which are copyright UK Parliament who publish the pictures under Creative Commons and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/about\/images\/\">add additional restrictions<\/a>. I have complied with their terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A.I.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer of 2025, I started to experiment with text to image LLMs, see <a href=\"https:\/\/davelevy.info\/wiki\/ai-and-images\/\">AI and images<\/a> on this wiki; I believe these are copyright free as only human created artefacts can be copyright. This is it would seem <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/age-of-awareness\/i-thought-ai-output-was-free-to-use-i-was-wrong-1bf0b826e868\">more complicated than that<\/a> and there is much litigation occurring in the USA as &#8220;creators&#8221; are demanding that AI farms pay for the use of their content. I do not plan to use AI to generate text, and will seek to identify any images generated by AI as such. Currently they are collected on <a href=\"https:\/\/davelevy.info\/wiki\/ai-and-images\/\">AI and images<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">ooOOOoo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other peoples material is published under different terms, most importantly, I use the tempo theme, and wordpress which are both published under the terms of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gnu.org\/licenses\/gpl-2.0.html\">GPL 2.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Cookies and Plugins are now dealt with on <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/privacy\/\">the Privacy page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress supports feeds for both categories and tags, here are some of the category feeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whole Site Feeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/feed\/\">All Posts<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/comments\/feed\/\">All Comments<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Posted Feeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/category\/technology\/feed\">Technology<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/category\/games\/feed\">Games<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/category\/politics\">Politics<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/category\/life-death\/feed\">Life &amp; Death<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not so busy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/category\/history\/feed\">History<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/category\/economics\/feed\">Economics<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/category\/travel\/feed\">Travel<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RDF<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/feed\/rdf\/\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.davelevy.info\/feed\/rdf\/\">RDF<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi Language support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I installed the google translation widget<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gtranslate_wrapper\" id=\"gt-wrapper-65538964\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">ooOOOoo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the home of my 2nd personal wiki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This first was held in a snipsnap wiki, hosted on a Cobalt Qube and then Amazon.
