Personal Copyrights (Read: My Diatribe =)

That having been said, it is time to cover my own bottom. Copyright regulations are still rather loosely formed on the Internet, so any personal copyright claims are tenuous, taking in to account that most if not all of the official specification material for HTML is in the public domain. I do claim copyright where possible over the many portions of the site which are original work (such as many parts of the Cascading Style Sheet reference) and over the entire site as a single, evolving work, along with its general HTML formatting scheme (look and feel.) All images are copyright 1996, 1997 Brian Wilson.

Information about version history of tag support in the mentioned browsers and other data was gathered though a series of sometimes painstaking manual verifications. The information is as accurate as I could determine given my resources and appears to be the most complete resource to date (that I can find at least) on this topic. While neither I nor anyone else can claim direct copyright over the content of the tag history pages (anyone who has the ability and or patience could duplicate this work), it is unlikely that many will try to duplicate this silly feat. 8-} Feel free to contact me if you would like to use the information that I have gathered here for another purpose.

Aside from that, if you can help add to this resource, please let me know so that it can be updated. This site was meant to create a single, cohesive resource on the HTML language, CSS and the popular browsers that support them; it would be a waste of efforts (I think) if this did not succeed.

Distribution Terms
You are free to distribute the Index DOT Html site (site archive) for non-profit use on any public Web/FTP/Gopher site without necessarily obtaining the authors permission - although notification is always appreciated. The latest version can always be found on the author's site (http://www.blooberry.com) If you wish to distribute the site archive on or with ANY OTHER MEDIA - i.e. if you want to include the site archive on a CD accompanying a publication, with other software, or any distribution situation similar to these - then the EXPRESS PERMISSION of the author is REQUIRED. The Index DOT Html site archive is NOT allowed to be distributed as part of any larger package (such as those described above) if the permission of the author has not been granted.

Registration
The Index DOT Html Site Archive is totally free for personal and private use. However, if you feel that the site warrants compensation to the author, or you have made money as a result of using the site and wish to register your approval financially (in light of time spent in creation and maintenance of site material), then contact the author to arrange payment. Please note that no formal registration or support agreement relationship will exist in such cases - if a user is willing to pay then the author will not turn down any payments. If you are responsible for a company, ISP, etc. network and you wish to install the Index DOT Html archive for multiple users, then you should consider some payment as a reflection of the time that the archive may save users within the company. Again, please contact the author if you are in this position.
