Copyright and Terms of Use

Ownership

These materials are the original work of Matthew Sinclair. The selection and sequencing of the material, and the editorial judgment throughout, are his.

Human authorship

This work is materially made by a human. Large language models were used as an assistive tool in its preparation — for drafting and editing — in the same way an author might use a word processor or a copy editor. Every decision and final choice reflects substantial human authorship and editorial control. The work is claimed and protected as a work of human authorship under copyright.

This is deliberate, and it reflects what these materials teach: a human directing AI tools to produce work the human is accountable for. The tools assisted; the author decided.

What you may do

Your purchase grants you a personal licence to use these materials for learning — on your own or as part of a group, class, or team session. Read them, work through them, apply what you learn in your own practice, and teach from them in a live setting where you are the facilitator.

What you may not do

A purchase does not transfer ownership of the content, or any right to reproduce, redistribute, or repackage it. In particular, you may not:

use these materials, in whole or in part, as training data, fine-tuning input, a retrieval corpus, or any other source for machine-learning systems or AI models;
use them to generate derivative works, productised summaries, competing courses, or any material distributed or offered to others;
redistribute, resell, sublicense, or publicly repost the content.

The permitted use is learning — not ingesting this work to manufacture something derived from it.

Using AI to help write an original work is authorship — the author's own process, which this licence permits. Taking a finished, human-authored work and feeding it to a machine to mass-produce derivatives is appropriation of someone else's work, which it forbids.

The software is not included

These materials describe, and were produced with, a software stack — the methodology, tooling, and platform built by the author. That software, its source code, and its design remain the author's sole property. Buying a copy of these materials grants no licence to, and no interest in, that software.

Licensing beyond personal use
