Source texts

Unless otherwise noted, the primary texts hosted on Scholia are in the public domain. They are drawn from editions whose copyright has expired, and the transcriptions are offered freely for scholarly and educational use.

Translations

Original community translations produced for Scholia are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence. You are free to share and adapt them for non-commercial purposes, provided you give appropriate credit and distribute any derivative works under the same licence.

Translations sourced from third parties retain their original licence terms, which are noted on the relevant work's page.

Commentary and resources

Scholarly commentary, resource links, and annotations contributed by editors are published under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 unless otherwise noted.

User content

Articles that contain original writing — analysis, commentary, argument — beyond the quoted material are the intellectual property of their author. By publishing such an article on Scholia, you grant the platform a non-exclusive licence to display it. You may archive or remove your published work at any time, subject to the platform's terms of service.

Collections that consist primarily of quotations with minimal original contribution do not constitute original authorship and are not independently copyrightable. Private notes and saved quotations are personal data and are not published or licenced to anyone.

Software

The Scholia platform software is proprietary. The licence terms above apply to the textual content hosted on the site, not to the underlying code.
