Website Design & Source Code
The design, layout, visual identity, CSS architecture, HTML structure, JavaScript functionality, WebGL scenes, and all other front-end and back-end code of our Sites are protected by copyright.
- The galaxy animation, the calm-mode toggle system, the 3D flip card pattern, the floating header pill, and the editorial typography system are original creative works of OCXLY.
- The three.js library used for the WebGL galaxy is licenced under the MIT Licence and is self-hosted alongside our source. Our use of three.js does not grant any rights to our original scene, shaders, or animation code built on top of it.
- The Fraunces, Geist, and Geist Mono typefaces are used under their respective open-source licences (SIL Open Font Licence). Our typographic system — the specific font pairings, variable-font settings, and responsive type scale — is our original design work.
Viewing source code in a browser's developer tools is a normal part of web development. However, copying, reproducing, or redistributing substantial portions of our source code for commercial purposes requires written permission.
Publications & Written Content
All written content published by OCXLY — including articles, blog posts, research papers, white papers, books, documentation, marketing copy, and educational materials — is protected by copyright from the moment of creation.
- Books. Books published through OCXLY Publishing House (Bookstair) are protected by copyright and, where applicable, registered with the relevant ISBN agency. Reproduction of book content beyond fair use requires the publisher's permission.
- Articles & blog posts. You may quote brief excerpts (typically fewer than 100 words) with proper attribution and a link to the original source. Reproducing full articles or substantial portions requires written permission.
- Documentation. Technical documentation published alongside OCXLY software may be covered by the same open-source licence as the software. Check the relevant repository for licence details.
Visual Assets & Media
All visual content on our Sites — including photographs, illustrations, icons, infographics, motion graphics, video content, and WebGL 3D scenes — is protected by copyright unless otherwise stated.
- Images may not be downloaded, copied, screenshotted for redistribution, hot-linked, or embedded on other websites without written permission.
- Stock images used on our Sites are licenced from their respective providers and may not be re-used by third parties.
- Screenshots of our Sites may be used in editorial content (reviews, articles, tutorials) under fair use, provided they are not used in a way that implies endorsement.
Software & Tools
Software, tools, APIs, libraries, and applications developed by OCXLY are protected by copyright and, where applicable, by patent. Unless a specific licence is stated:
- All software is proprietary. No licence is granted to copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software.
- SaaS products and cloud services are licenced (not sold) to users under the terms presented at the point of access or purchase.
- Outputs generated by OCXLY's AI tools are subject to the terms of service for that specific tool. In general, you retain rights to outputs generated from your own inputs, subject to any limitations stated in the tool's terms.
Open Source & Creative Commons
OCXLY believes in contributing to the open-source and creative commons communities. Some of our work is released under permissive licences:
10.1 Open-source software
Code released on our GitHub organisation (github.com/ocxly) is covered by the licence file in each repository (typically MIT or Apache 2.0). The open-source licence applies only to the code in that repository, not to OCXLY's brand, trademarks, or other proprietary content.
10.2 Creative Commons content
Content explicitly labelled with a Creative Commons licence may be used in accordance with that licence. The specific CC licence variant (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC BY-NC, etc.) is indicated alongside the content. Where no licence is indicated, all rights are reserved.
10.3 Third-party open source
Our Sites and products incorporate third-party open-source components. We comply with the licence terms of all components we use. Notable third-party components include:
- three.js — MIT Licence — 3D rendering engine for the WebGL galaxy.
- Fraunces — SIL Open Font Licence — Display serif typeface.
- Geist & Geist Mono — SIL Open Font Licence — Sans-serif and monospace typefaces by Vercel.
A full list of third-party open-source components and their licences is available upon request at [email protected].
User Content & Licensing
When you submit content through our Services (comments, feedback, uploads, contributions), you retain copyright ownership of your original work. However, you grant OCXLY a licence to use that content as described in our Terms & Conditions, Section 7.2.
Key points:
- You retain your copyright. We do not claim ownership of your content.
- The licence you grant us is non-exclusive — you remain free to use your content elsewhere.
- The licence terminates when you delete your content (subject to reasonable backup and caching periods).
- You are responsible for ensuring that your content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property rights.
Fair Use & Fair Dealing
We respect the fair use (United States), fair dealing (United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India), and equivalent doctrines under other national copyright laws. These doctrines permit limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as:
- Criticism and commentary.
- News reporting and journalism.
- Education and scholarship.
- Research and academic study.
- Parody and satire.
Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use or fair dealing depends on the specific facts. The four factors considered under U.S. law (17 U.S.C. § 107) include: (1) the purpose and character of the use; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount used in relation to the whole; and (4) the effect on the market for the original.
If you use OCXLY content under a fair use or fair dealing claim, we ask that you provide attribution (author, title, URL, and date) wherever practicable.
