We invite you to use and modify any of Portland Afoot's content however you like, for any commercial or noncommercial project in print, online or through good old-fashioned spoken words.

All you have to do is give us credit, and promise that you'll let anyone else share the results of your work, too.

Why? Because if Portland Afoot goes away someday, we want the work we've done here to live forever as a resource to the people of Portland.

Also because we want to give you reasons to help improve the site -- and if you're allowed to use our project to make money for your own project, we hope you'll be more willing to help our project along the way.

Note that neither Portland Afoot or its editors provide legal advice. It is the responsibility of the reuser to determine how any license applies to the intended reuse.

(Any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions.) This applies to text developed by the Wikipedia community. Text from external sources may attach additional attribution requirements to the work, which should be indicated on an article's face or on its talk page. For example, a page may have a banner or other notation indicating that some or all of its content was originally published somewhere else. Where such notations are visible in the page itself, they should generally be preserved by re-users.

  • Indicate changes: If you make modifications or additions, you must indicate in a reasonable fashion that the original work has been modified. If you are re-using the page in a wiki, for example, indicating this in the page history is sufficient.

[edit] Images and other media

While in principle Portland Afoot's text is subject to the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and can be used free of charge for any purpose so long as licensing terms are met, the photos, videos and audio recordings not produced by the staff of Portland Afoot are sometimes identified as being subject to other licenses. Clicking on the media file will lead either to the original source of the image or to an information page that includes its licensing.

If the image comes from Portland Afoot's own Flickr account, the image has been published under CC-BY-SA, the same license as the text. These images can be reused or modified for free under the same terms as Portland Afoot's text.

Our media file information pages sometimes include contact information for copyright holders. If the licensing conditions of a media file are unsuitable for the reuse you intend, you're welcome to contact the copyright holder of the media file for alternate conditions. For this you must negotiate with the copyright holder directly.
