Attribution
AudaStories is built on the work of a lot of other people. This page credits all of it.
The licensing picture
Wikipedia text is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. That means we can build stories from it so long as we credit the source and release our derivative under the same licence. Our generated scripts inherit that licence. Share them freely, keep the attribution, keep the share-alike.
Wikimedia Commons images are licensed per image. Each picture has its own creator and its own terms, which we display under the image and link below. We only use images under compatible licences: CC0, Public Domain, CC BY, or CC BY-SA (3.0 or newer on this site). Anything NonCommercial, NoDerivatives, or fair-use-only is excluded. Each image listed below carries the actual licence pulled from its Commons file page.
Where we use an image, we resize it to fit our layouts, and some source files on Commons are themselves crops of a larger original, so we disclose modifications as "Cropped & Resized" alongside the credit.
Wikidata is public domain (CC0). We use it to pick the right entity, disambiguate names, and pull structured metadata. No attribution is required, but we credit it anyway because we rely on it.
The audio narration is copyright Explorer Innovations Ltd. It is produced with Inworld TTS and carries an inaudible machine-readable watermark identifying it as synthetic. Streaming is fine. Redistributing the audio is not.
For the wider story of how we use Wikipedia, what we donate back, and why we are not affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation, see our relationship with Wikipedia.
The catalogue
Every story we host, with its source Wikipedia article and (where we display a photo) the per-image Wikimedia Commons credit. Rebuilt on each deploy.
