These are a few notes regarding the credits and copyrights policy of this web site. While we will acknowledge all known credits and copyrights, we wish to protect the work of our team and contributors in a very simple way.

We think we are doing the right thing, but if you do not think so, or if you need any clarification or have a request, please let us know and contact us. 

About credits

If not otherwise stated, credits for all the materials available in this site are due to spacecraft.it and its team.

When possible, credits will be clearly stated for materials obtained from other sources. If credits information is not available, this will be most likely stated in some way or another. Please let us know immediately if some credits information needs to be updated or added: we will do that in the shortest amount of time.

About copyrights

All the articles and other text material of this site are copyright of the author/s of the text (when shown) and of spacecraft.it and its team.

Copyright ownership of excerpts of text coming from other sources will be properly stated or, if unknown, updated/added on request.

About downloadable documents

The site will offer a number of documents and other material in electronic format (mostly as PDF files).

Documents scanned by the spacecraft.it team will be copyrighted according to a specific Creative Commons license. They will be prefixed with a special cover page stating the origin of the document and other useful information. We do not claim any copyright on the content of the document, we just want to protect the work that went into producing a historically accurate and high quality electronic format of an original obtained elsewhere.

These documents can be freely exchanged with the condition that the spacecraft.it and its team are always credited for them and that no modification is done to them, including removal of the special cover page.

Other documents, coming from other sources, will be often made available also through this site mostly for readers' convenience. Usually they will be offered as they are and they will not be manipulated in any way. When the information is available, the original source will be cited, but no cover page will be added.
