Ideas Versus Expression
Copyright protects original expression, not an idea, principle, system, procedure, method, concept, or discovery itself. The U.S. Copyright Office expressly distinguishes the underlying idea or system from the original writing, artwork, diagrams, recordings, and other expression used to communicate it.
Accordingly, this Notice is intended to protect Eartheaven's and its authors' legally protectable expression and other intellectual property and is not intended to claim copyright ownership over subject matter that copyright law places in the public domain or otherwise excludes from copyright protection.

-
training generative artificial-intelligence systems;
-
fine-tuning machine-learning models;
-

automated content generation; or
-
commercial knowledge products.
