License & Reuse

Using and sharing this content

Everything here is free, and I want it to spread. Read it, share it, quote it, translate it, build a workshop around it. The one line I draw: don't take what I've compiled and sell it, or fence it off behind someone else's paywall. Here are the rules in plain language.

CC BY NC SA CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

You're free to

  • Share — copy and redistribute it in any format or medium.
  • Adapt — remix, translate, and build on it.

As long as you

  • BY Give credit — name me and link back to the original.
  • NC Keep it non-commercial — no using it to make money without asking.
  • SA Share alike — if you remix it, release your version under the same license.

What this covers

The license applies to the work I actually wrote: the guides, the essays, the tool reviews and every "Fabian's take," plus the text of the AI Fluency Quiz, the levels, the checklist, and the certificate. In short — my words.

What it doesn't cover

A few things are carved out, because they aren't mine to hand over:

  • The Good AI Guide name and logo. That's my brand — please don't reuse it in a way that suggests I made or endorsed your thing.
  • The site's code and design. The writing is Creative Commons; the machinery underneath isn't part of this license.
  • Other people's logos, trademarks, and screenshots — the tools I review own those, not me.
  • Anything I've quoted from someone else. Their rights stay with them.

And one thing worth saying plainly: facts and ideas aren't mine to license. If you learned from a review that a tool costs twenty bucks a month, go ahead and say so — that's information, and information is free. What the license protects is the specific way I wrote something, not the knowledge inside it. The whole point of this site is that people walk away able to do something new. Take the knowledge. Run with it.

How to credit me

Attribution keeps it simple. Something like this works:

"Title of the piece" by Fabian Mösli, goodaiguide.com, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

Online, link back to the original page and to the license. If you changed something, say so — a quick "adapted from" is enough. The credit isn't red tape; it's how people find their way back to the source, and honestly it's the only "payment" I'm asking for.

"Non-commercial" — what that actually means

This is the part people get unsure about, so let me be concrete. You're fine to use this in a class, a study group, an internal team wiki, your personal blog, a nonprofit's training. What crosses the line is using it to make money without asking: putting it inside something you sell, running ads against a copy of it, folding it into a paid course or product.

The boundary isn't always razor-sharp, and I'd rather you ask than guess. If you're not sure which side you're on, treat that as a sign to send me a quick email.

Want to use it commercially? Just ask.

Commercial reuse isn't a no — it's a conversation. I license this material for commercial use case by case, and I'm easy to reach. Workshop, course, book, product, a site that runs ads — tell me what you have in mind at hello [at] goodaiguide.com and we'll sort it out. I say yes more often than you'd expect. Staying in this loop is exactly how I keep track of who's building on the work — and I genuinely like hearing what people want to do with it.

The fine print

Everything above is a plain-language summary, not the license itself. The real terms are the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license — you can read the full legal code if you want the exact wording. If my summary and the legal text ever seem to disagree, the legal text is what counts. Nothing here limits any rights you already have under copyright law, such as quotation or fair use.
