Physical Reprints (Paper Publishing)

If you are interested in publishing a physical reprint that is printed on paper (for example, a printed book or brochure or a set of handouts for a course), then you have permission to do so for free as follows:

If it is a publication for a non-profit organization, then you have our permission to reprint up to 4 pages from this website.

If it is a publication for a for-profit organization, then you have our permission to reprint up to 2 pages from this website. In this list, the term “page” refers to Web pages (HTML files with embedded pictures) and not the number of printed pages needed to reproduce content.

These physical reprints are permitted under the condition that you include the URL for each original Web page.Note that the permission to reprint a number of my Web pages for free only applies to physical versions of your publications.

If they have an online version, then please do not reproduce our content there. Instead, simply link to the original pages on www.namedays.gr.

Special rule for CD-ROMs etc.: If you are manufacturing physical data storage media like floppy disks, CD-ROMs, DVDs, etc., then you can treat them as a physical reprint and include the allowed number of Web pages according to the list above if and only if you are not making the content of this physical storage medium accessible over a computer network. (A typical example that’s OK would be to produce a CD-ROM with the full text of a book as long as the CD is only distributed with the physical book.)

Physical reprints that involve a larger number of our Web pages are only allowed with explicit permission which will involve a license fee of € 100 per content.

Electronic and Online Reproduction

An active link is a hypertext link that one can click on and navigate to the relevant site that the active link redirects to. We do not permit other websites to copy our content without paying a license fee.

If you are interested in referring your readers to one or more of our content, then simply use an active link to the original article stored on www.namedays.gr.

Since we are committed to fighting linkrot, the URL will always remain the same (at least as long as URLs are supported on the Internet, which we expect to be for a very long time). Thus, you can safely link to any of our pages. Rights to copy our articles onto your own site are available for a license fee of € 100 per content.

Linking to www.namedays.gr

We are sometimes asked whether we will permit other websites to link to pages on our site. The answer is yes, and there is no reason to fill up our email with messages asking permission to link. Links are the foundation of the Web and you are welcome to link to as many pages as you want on our site.

Copying Style Sheets and Artwork

You are welcome to copy our CSS style sheet. If you want to use these design elements on your own site, then please make a copy and store it on your own server so that you don’t add to the load on our server. This is the only exception to the rule of never placing copies of our work on other servers. Other artwork cannot be copied without special permission, though we will often grant this if you want to use a single figure.

Fair Use Quotes

Finally, the fair use clause obviously applies to this website: thus, if you are writing a review or commentary about www.namedays.gr, you are free to illustrate your review or commentary with one or more screenshots of the site without special permission. Also, you can quote a few words or lines from any of our published content without special permission.

Even though there is no rule that requires this, it would be nice if any quote was supplemented by an active link to the full article on www.namedays.gr so that any interested readers can retrieve the original context from which the quote was pulled. (source ©: www.namedays.gr)
