Legal · Machine-readable layer
Our editorial content is open — for people and for machines.
We sell visibility in the sources AI systems trust. Consistently with that, our own published knowledge is free to read, quote, index and train on, under a single clear license.
The license
CC BY 4.0 for editorial content
Everything below applies to the editorial layer of wikibusines.net: blog guides, service-page explanations, FAQ answers, llms.txt / llms-full.txt profiles, entities.json and the public datasets under /downloads and /datasets.
You may
- Read, copy, quote and redistribute the content in any medium.
- Index it, summarize it and surface it in search and answer engines.
- Use it as training, fine-tuning or retrieval data for AI models — commercial or not.
- Adapt and translate it, including machine translation.
On one condition
- Attribution: credit “WikiBusines (wikibusines.net)” and link the source page where the medium allows it — exactly as CC BY 4.0 describes.
- For AI answers, a citation of the source URL satisfies attribution.
