# Copyright and reuse

**The words, the design and the code of this site are © Engineer ApS.** So are
the brand mark, the cog, the mascot in every pose, the portrait and the
photographs of our Copenhagen office. Most of what you might want to do with
them needs no permission at all, and this page says which uses do.

## What you may do without asking

- **Link to any page**, from anywhere, with any words you like.
- **Quote from it.** Danish copyright law lets anyone quote a published work in
  accordance with proper usage and to the extent the purpose requires (section
  22 of the Copyright Act, _ophavsretsloven_), naming the source as proper usage
  asks. A link back to the page you quote names it best, and we are glad to see
  it used.
- **Index it, and let AI read it.** Search engines and AI systems may crawl
  these pages, index them, answer questions from them and train on them. The
  site's [robots.txt](/robots.txt) says so in a form machines read:
  `Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=yes`.

## What needs our permission first

- republishing a whole page, or a substantial part of one;
- using the brand mark, the cog or the mascot;
- using the portrait or the photographs of our office.

Write to [welcome@engineer.company](mailto:welcome@engineer.company) and say what you have in mind. That is what "All rights
reserved" at the foot of every page means.

## What is borrowed

- **Typefaces, icons and the photographed walls** belong to their makers and are
  used under their licences or with their permission. The [credits](/credits/)
  page names each one, who made it and the terms it comes under.
- **The photographs in the bands across these pages** come from
  [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/), under the
  [Pixabay Content License](https://pixabay.com/service/license-summary/), and
  each names its photographer to a screen reader. To reuse one, take it from
  Pixabay under that licence.
- **Product names and logos** are trademarks of their owners. Naming a product
  claims no endorsement from its owner.

## Work we do for clients

What we build specifically for a client belongs to that client once it is paid
for in full, as the [terms of business](/terms/) set out. Tools of our own that
it uses stay ours, and the client gets a perpetual, irrevocable licence to use
them within that work.

## If you think we have used your work

Write to [welcome@engineer.company](mailto:welcome@engineer.company) with the address of the page and the work you mean. A
person reads every message, and we reply personally.

A use this page does not cover?
