Setting Up Your Own Site
You are permitted to set up a Views
of the Solar System mirror site as long as you follow the
following guidelines: Views of the Solar System may be distributed
on the World Wide Web as long as it is used for non-profit applications
and the pages are not modified. Most of the material is in the
public domain and can be used anywhere, but a significant amount
is not in the public domain. I have permission to use all of
the material as part of Views of the Solar System on the
World Wide Web, but some of the material I have not been given
permission to publish in other formats. This basically means
that you cannot change the material or publish it without obtaining
proper permissions. For additional information consult the
copyright page.
At the bottom of each page of Views of the Solar System
is a HOST
button that links to host.htm. You may modify the host.htm file
to point to your host. I would appreciate that you leave the link
to the most up-to-date mirror listing,
the link to the main server, the Views of the Solar System
icon, and my name at the bottom of the page. You may add additional buttons
and information about your server.
