You are free to read, share and link to the content on this site as long as you:

a) Link back to all the original work you used at their URLs on this site and attribute all of it to Dennis N. Santana.  Dennis “Wyatt Salazar” Santana is also acceptable. I would be very thankful if you didn’t use just Wyatt Salazar though.

b) Don’t sell or profit off of the content of this site. Everything on this site is freely-given to the public to read, download and share under this agreement, there’s no need to sell it.

c) Don’t alter the texts or pass them off as your own. If you are creating home-made PDFs of the text to distribute, please do not alter the text, and be sure to include this license, link to http://spiritsofeden.com and include my name there, as well as acknowledgment that this is PDF is not issued or supported by Dennis N. Santana – that it is “unofficial.” This is important because I might someday want to create PDFs based on my work.

c-a) Don’t create original works based off the site’s content, with the following exceptions. You are free to discuss how you used content from the site in your games, or how content from the site inspired your games. You’re free to distribute content inspired by the site, such as characters, monsters and scenarios under the condition that you give the site and myself recognition when you do any of these things, and that they be released for free under a Creative Commons license when you write them. I’m fairly lenient with other kinds of derivative work – just ask me first whether it’s okay or not. My worry is the unfortunate reality of being sued by someone maliciously using something I created, or otherwise being taken advantage of unfairly. I do not want to stifle gamers.

d) Make clear to others the terms of the Creative Commons license itself, so that they are assured of your rights in using the content, as well as being clear of my rights as the author, and their own rights as consumers of the content. To do this, just link to the creative commons web page above as I have, using the icon if possible.

All rights to my content outside the above stipulations are reserved to me.
