All
written works and videos on the wordsout site,
apart
from those in the sections Poems
I'd like to have written and Cafe Church poets,
are my copyright. In
some cases additional creators and copyright holders are identified.
Any of my works published here, or parts of them, may be performed or published free of charge and without specific permission for non-commercial (not-for-profit) purposes under the terms of the Creative Commons by-nc-nd license (see here for details). This general permission includes use in church services (live, recorded or broadcast) and church magazines, and in events or publications produced for charities.
Where practical the author should be acknowledged in uses of any kind. A suitable written credit is © Godfrey Rust, www.wordsout.co.uk.
If
an excerpt from a work is used it should be made clear that it is an
except (the word "From" in front of the title is often enough). Minor
adaptations and
changes of reference may be made without permission to allow for
context (for example, a local traffic bottleneck might be referred to
instead of "the Wandsworth
one-way system"), but please do not make arbitrary changes to the text
otherwise.
For
commercial uses, or if wanting to make translations or more significant
modifications, or if you are unsure, please contact me.
For
uses of works by a Cafe Church poet,
please contact me and I will
put you in
touch.
All income for wordsout goes to charity, to support two schools in Jos, northern Nigeria, set up and run in very difficult circumstances by my friend Pastor Kenneth Ononeze (see here), so while no fee is required for non-commercial use, donations are gratefully received. Payments or donations may be made via Paypal to godfrey@wordsout.co.uk, or contact me for cheque or bank transfer payments.
Most of the poems have an image associated with them, which I have chosen simply to complement the poem and sometimes provide context. I have acknowledged the creator and/or source where it has been identifiable and contacted the creators/owners for permission where this was explicitly required. If anyone objects to the use of their images in this way I will of course remove them. wordsout is not-for-profit and no commercial benefit accrues to anyone from this re-use, and I hope it may introduce others to the work of the artists and photographers represented to their benefit.
