Casepin · Licenses

Where this comes from, and how it’s licensed.

Casepin researches and writes its own case files, built on sources we credit and handle with care. Facts trace to cited sources; adapted prose is shared back under the same license; coverage stays with its creators.

Case-file prose — Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.

Where a case file's narrative draws on Wikipedia, that text is modified from the cited articles and shared back under the same Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license (CC BY-SA 4.0). We attribute it, and our adaptation carries the same license so it stays free to reuse under the same terms.

Structured data — Wikidata, CC0.

Structured facts (dates, places, identifiers) sourced from Wikidata are in the public domain under CC0. Public records — court filings, government and law-enforcement documents — are used as primary sources and are not copyrightable as facts; US federal government works are public domain.

Coverage — linked and embedded, never rehosted.

Videos, podcasts, and documentaries belong to their creators. Casepin links to them and embeds their official players (YouTube via the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie player; Spotify and Apple podcast episodes via their own embeds). We never copy, re-host, or re-upload anyone's coverage, and we respect each platform's embeddable setting.

Casepin's own material.

The research, editorial structure, and original writing in each case file — the dossiers, timelines, and narration produced for this archive — are ours, as are the Casepin name, wordmark, interface, and design. The map basemap is © OpenStreetMap contributors, rendered from OpenFreeMap tiles. Where our case-file prose incorporates CC BY-SA material, that prose is shared under CC BY-SA 4.0 as above.
