Pre-clearance for the use of markup, stylesheet, and JavaScript examples
The following passage can be found in the Preface of HTML & CSS: The Good Parts:
This book is here to help you get your job done. In general, you may use the code in this book in your programs and documentation. You do not need to contact [O’Reilly Media] for permission unless you’re reproducing a significant portion of the code. For example, writing a program that uses several chunks of code from this book does not require permission. Selling or distributing a CD-ROM of examples from O’Reilly books does require permission. Answering a question by citing this book and quoting example code does not require permission. Incorporating a significant amount of example code from this book into your product’s documentation does require permission.

Rights and permissions with respect to this site’s content
Where this site copies blocks of markup and CSS taken or obviously derived from those in the book, the rights quoted above apply categorically. For other site content, one of three licensing schemes are applied:
- All rights reserved
- Total reservation is claimed in the following cases:
- I’ve judged that the only point to repurposing the affected content would arise if you are duplicating this site in toto, which is obviously unacceptable.
- I’ve received permission to duplicate content from the book (e.g.: thumbnail versions of the book’s illustrations; errata and corrections) that’s owned by O’Reilly Media or other parties, in which case permission for reuse is not mine to give.
- I fully expect to see affected content copied verbatim into a later edition of the book.
- …With respect to design elements (including the graphic comprising the title banner of this site) that are integral to this site’s identity.
- Creative Commons (CC) Attribution
- This license applies by default to all illustrations on this site not included in the book or integral to the identity of this site. The content of articles that I do not expect to see copied verbatim into a future edition of the book will also fall under this license.
- Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives
- This license will be applied by default to any screencasts, podcasts, or other non-text presentations that I create and publish solely on this site, but might also be applied to bodies of text content on this site at my discretion.
Where a Creative Commons license applies to site contents outside of the default cases described above, a link to the appropriate CC License Deed is provided at the bottom of the page.
When in doubt, apply a revenue test: if you intend to make any money from the content of this site, please ask the rights-holder for permission.
