# Reusing Taking their land

Copyright © 2026 Craig Talbert, for original project material to the extent
copyright or similar rights apply and are held by him. Licenses authorized
2026-09-05. Third-party material is excepted as described below.

| Component | License |

| Original monograph, atlas case prose, explanatory graphics, and editorial/methods documentation | [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) (CC BY-SA 4.0) |
| Original structured research data: event attributes, coding, source-point assertions, evidence/decision ledgers, bibliography metadata, and statistical results | [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) (CC BY 4.0) |

These grants apply to the original components in the repository and its
distributed snapshots. A file can contain more than one component. In
particular, original atlas narrative prose remains CC BY-SA 4.0 when embedded
in JSON or HTML, whereas the structured research fields are CC BY 4.0.
Third-party quotations and map geometry do not become our CC-licensed data.
The software license does not override the licenses on embedded content.

Full terms are supplied in [CC BY-SA 4.0](LICENSES/CC-BY-SA-4.0.txt),
[CC BY 4.0](LICENSES/CC-BY-4.0.txt), and [MIT](LICENSES/MIT.txt).

## What reuse permits

You may copy, teach with, translate, adapt, and commercially reuse the licensed
material. For CC material, credit Craig Talbert, identify the work and its
license, preserve supplied notices as required, and indicate changes.
When sharing adaptations of the CC BY-SA material, use the same license or
another license allowed by its ShareAlike terms. CC BY data and MIT software
do not impose that ShareAlike condition.

No license requires publication of private edits. An independent study is not
automatically an adaptation simply because it analyzes these data. The grants
do not restrict facts or other public-domain material, or uses permitted by
copyright exceptions. The license texts govern; this explanation adds no
restrictions. CC permissions already received cannot be revoked while the
recipient complies with the applicable terms.

## Exceptions and third-party notices

Read [Third-party notices](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md) before redistributing the
atlas, source code, or mixed-content files. In particular:

- D3-derived projection/interpolation code retains ISC notices.
- OpenStreetMap-derived geography retains ODbL terms and attribution; Natural
  Earth geography is public domain. Neither is covered by our data grant.
- Quoted passages, reproduced source images, third-party documents, and
  externally supplied tools/templates retain their own rights. A citation,
  local copy, or download link is not a new license from this project.
- Copyrighted source PDFs, captures, raw model/coder journals, private material,
  and scratch work are not included in the public reuse bundle. Their presence
  in a research workspace does not authorize redistribution.

Material is provided without warranties, as specified by the applicable
license. Attribution must not imply endorsement. We claim no exclusive rights
over historical facts or material that does not receive copyright protection.

## Suggested citation

Craig Talbert. 2026. *Taking their land: A chronological atlas of settlement
and displacement*. Cite the atlas build or statistical release identifier
shown with the material and the access date.
[Project](https://latrian.dyndns.org/takingtheirland/).

For the monograph, cite Craig Talbert, *The Shape of Taking*, the displayed
working-draft version and publication build. For data, cite the release ID
and, when practical, the downloaded file or bundle checksum. These citation
details help reproducibility; they do not add license conditions. Translations
and adaptations should identify their changes rather than imply they are the
unchanged original.

## Updating and preserving releases

The publication builder carries these notices into each new HTML/data build
and the monograph PDF. The downloadable bundle includes this file, the license
texts, third-party notices, and per-file component guidance in its manifest.
Existing frozen statistical files are not rewritten to add headers: these
licenses accompany their unchanged bytes. No archival DOI is claimed until
one is actually issued.
