- All other aspects of the site--including the layout, design, colors, xHTML tags, JavaScript, and background image--I release to the Public Domain.
- The background image is a modified version of a Public Domain NASA SOHO image and should remain in the Public Domain, if I'm able to make that kind of gesture.

Not enough effort is made nowadays to enrich the Public Domain. Too many people are holding onto copyrights to squeeze every bit of money out of their creations without much thought about the public. Some people fail to release their copyrighted material even when they have no intentions or purpose for the material, and creativity suffers as a result.
Though I don't claim what I have created is enriching, I feel the need to do what I can for the common good. If you do decide to use what I have released into the Public Domain, please send me an email letting me know.
