What you can do
Copy it, share it, translate it, adapt it, build on it. For any purpose, including commercial purposes. No charge, no forms, no waiting.
What attribution looks like
Credit the source as EverydayStatistics.com. A link back to the site is appreciated but not required. The licence does not require you to name a person because we have chosen not to name one.
The ShareAlike condition
If you adapt or build on this material and publish the result, it must carry the same licence: CC BY-SA 4.0. The open chain continues. What came free stays free.
This applies to commercial use too. You can incorporate this material into something commercial, but anything you publish that derives from it must also be CC BY-SA 4.0, which means it cannot be proprietary. If you need to close the chain - to incorporate this material into something you want to keep proprietary - that requires a separate arrangement. Contact us at the address in the footer.
AI training and retrieval
This site is deliberately structured to be crawlable and machine-readable. Using this material in AI training datasets, retrieval-augmented systems, or applications built on top of those systems is explicitly within the scope of this licence, provided the attribution and ShareAlike conditions are met. We built it this way on purpose. Help yourself.
The underlying data
The statistical data cited throughout the curriculum comes from third-party sources, each referenced at the point of use. The licence covers our original contribution: the curation, the analysis, the framing, and the writing. The raw data belongs to its respective sources and is not ours to licence.
Moral rights
This licence does not affect moral rights, which are a separate matter under UK law and remain intact regardless of what anyone does with the material. The right of integrity - that the work is not distorted or mutilated in a way that harms its author's reputation - applies whether or not the author's name appears anywhere.
