Trithemius Corpus — rights and licensing

This project combines materials with different rights status. Please read the
three sections below before reusing anything.

----

1. The Latin source texts — public domain

   Trithemius's Latin works (c. 1492–1516) are in the public domain and are
   not subject to any license here. Provenance for each source edition is
   recorded in `manifest.json` — typically scans held by the Bayerische
   Staatsbibliothek (BSB), Herzog August Bibliothek (HAB), e-rara, dilibri,
   and similar institutions, redistributed by the Post-Reformation Digital
   Library (PRDL).

2. The English translations and the per-work generated artifacts —
   no copyright claimed (CC0 1.0 / public domain)

   Every translation in this corpus was produced by machine (large language
   models), as were the per-chunk grades, the researched headnotes, and the
   Style C cipher renderings. Material generated by an AI without human
   creative authorship is not protected by copyright (current U.S. Copyright
   Office guidance; Thaler v. Perlmutter, 2023). No copyright is therefore
   claimed in these outputs. To the extent any rights could attach, they are
   dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0:
   https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
   You may use them for any purpose, without permission or attribution
   (a citation is appreciated but not required — see below).

3. The methodology, documentation, and code — © 2026 Ian Carlos Fabin, CC BY 4.0

   The human-authored layer — the methodology essay, the README and
   LIMITATIONS documentation, the files under `docs/`, the build scripts and
   site templates, and the original selection and arrangement of the corpus —
   is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License
   (CC BY 4.0): https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
