Creative Commons-licensed material should be ok, but be aware that there are numerous versions.  If the material is licensed with an attribution requirement, be sure to fulfill that (usually it just requires stating the title, author, source, license - see [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Best_practices_for_attribution CC best practices for attribution]).  If the material is licensed for non-commercial usage only, it may not be legal to post here - this is (currently) a personal website (not a non-profit institution) that accepts donations.
+'''Do not post any copyrighted material you do not have permission to post here''' (see compatible licenses below).  Please post the copyright holder's name and the date of copyright, and additionally the license by which the material is shared.  Please make it clear what content is subject to the external copyright.

	My goal for making this site is to help educate the widest audience possible. As such, I chose a wiki format for fast editing, as well as to allow anyone to update content. To this end, the wiki is currently very open. I may have to start ammending policies as we encounter abuse.		My goal for making this site is to help educate the widest audience possible.
