Terms

What you can do with the writing, the tools and anything you make with them. Short, because there are only three answers.

What you may do with what is herethree different answers
The writingQuote it, with a link
The toolsUse them, no warranty
Music from HumAnything, with a credit
The only condition anywhere is attribution. Nothing here asks you to sign up, pay, or ask permission first.

The writing

The articles, diagrams and project write-ups are mine. Quote them, argue with them, and link to them: an excerpt with attribution and a link back is welcome and you do not need to ask. Republishing a whole piece elsewhere is not, and neither is feeding the writing into something that reproduces it as its own.

The tools

The tools are free, they need no account, and they run in your browser. They are provided as they are, with no warranty and no promise that they will keep working, stay free, or still be here next year. Use them for anything you like, including commercial work.

They can also be wrong. If a tool gives you an answer that matters, check it.

The Article 50 checker is not legal advice

It points at the transparency obligations in the EU AI Act that look like they could apply to what you described, so that you know what to go and read. It does not know your business, it cannot see your system, and it is not a lawyer. Do not use it as the basis of a compliance decision without proper advice.

Music you make with Hum

It is yours to use, including commercially, under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Change it, cut it up, remix it, ship it in a game, sell the game. The one condition is a credit somewhere a person can find it, such as a credits screen, a store page or a readme:

Music generated with Hum by Dale Mooney (hum.dmooney.engineer)

If you changed the audio, say so. The full terms travel with every export in a file called READ ME AND LICENCE.txt, and those are what actually apply.

Code

Anything published on GitHub is covered by the licence in that repository, which is the one that governs, not this page.

Liability

As far as the law allows, I am not liable for anything that follows from using this site or the tools on it. Nothing here is a professional service, and nothing on these pages limits liability for anything that cannot legally be limited.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

Changes

If these change, the date at the top changes with them.
