Disclaimer And Licensing !!

As I realise that there is gonna be a lot of "new" code and stuff, I think it is important for me to be able to focus on things which hold value for me. And at the moment, my priority is to improve myself and to combine all of my interests in a coherent whole, my niche and an environment which is more like what a studio is for an artist. Just that, nothing more. I am not looking to make money off of this blog or something, just to use the blog a way of reaching out and using the peer pressure to keep myself going. Not to mention, that having such a wonderful progress log is wonderful when I look back and helps me realise that, no matter how frustrating it might be at some moment, I have come a long way and this perspective keeps me moving forward and towards my goals.

I focus so much more on the content, which to be honest is quite amateurish at the moment and has tons of rough edges but overtime, I know in my bones, it's gonna grow into something wonderful; all the more wonderful. Of course, it's a long long journey and I would like to focus my energies which matter to me the most, which is, to constantly improve at using the tools to solve Mathematical and Physical problems; to explore constantly.

I don't seek to "earn" through the blog, nor do I care much about the traffic as such. The best thing that I believe can happen via this blog is that I wish to inspire people to look at Programming, Mathematics and Physics as just another skill set; something they can play with, something they can be really really creative in. Rather than something that is often reserved for "Geniuses" or "Intelligent" people.

So, to be able to convey things in the most meaningful, though with a few rough edges, is by putting up great content in the blog. And often I just look something up on Google and use the first few images, codes, articles it shows up and I pay less attention to the "Credit" section of the resource. I would like to clarify that I would probably often include a proper link/citation to the original resource but, knowing myself, I would forget a few here and there. So, just to be clear, You can absolutely all the code, all the resources which I link/upload at all times and I claim nothing in return.

As the content is gonna improve in quality and becomes all the more mature and useful, I would look in to Creative Commons licensing for the content. So, at best you would only need to include the my name as an attribute to be able to use the content any way you like, as far as the CC license permits.

For all the other authors, whose work I refer to; I am merely pointing in their direction and building upon their work. It is only because of their open-mindedness, hard-work and generosity that I am able to do what I need to do. So hats off to these wonderful people.

I believe, Internet is the greatest resource we have ever built; our Greatest Invention and it should always be free. And it is only because of these people that we are only limited by our imagination. The world is all the more Humane.

All the content on this blog would always be free and that's how I have acquired a huge part of my knowledge and this is how I wish to contribute positively to our collective knowledge as well.
