Creative Commons Licensing. Subject to the Reserved Rights described below, The Back of the Yards characters, storylines, settings, written descriptions, and other designated creative materials are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0).

Ownership of Contributions.  Contributors retain ownership of their original creative contributions. By submitting work through a Made Collaborative Workshop or other designated collaboration opportunity, contributors grant Made Collaborative a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to review, reproduce, edit, adapt, display, publish, and incorporate their submissions into Back of the Yards and related projects, including promotional materials. Contributors also authorize Made Collaborative to make selected contributions available under CC BY-SA 4.0 upon publication or other express designation.

Reproduction or commercial distribution of these protected materials requires appropriate permission.

Our Shared Creative Philosophy. We encourage participants to create their own stories, artwork, comics, and other original works using the Creative Commons-licensed elements of the Back of the Yards universe. Our goal is to foster a shared creative world where contributors retain ownership of their original work while allowing others to build upon material made available under our Creative Commons framework.
