Credits & permissions

FilamentFeed uses photography from the public domain and from photographers who have published their work under Creative Commons licenses. Every image is credited below with its photographer, license, and a link to the original file.

How we use third-party content

  • Images. Every image on the site is either in the public domain (typically a U.S. federal government work) or licensed under Creative Commons. Each is credited inline with the article and listed below with full attribution.
  • Quotations. Articles may quote brief passages from primary sources (government documents, law-firm publications, news reports) for the purpose of news reporting and commentary. All quoted material is attributed and linked. Quotations are kept short and used under the fair-use doctrine (17 U.S.C. § 107).
  • Source links. Linking to source articles is not infringement; it's how journalism works. We link out so readers can verify our reporting and read the original.

If you're a rights holder

If you believe an image or quotation on this site has been used without proper permission or attribution, please contact us at [email protected] with a description of the work and the URL where it appears. We respond to legitimate requests promptly — typically within 48 hours — and will correct attribution, replace, or remove content as appropriate.

Editorial process

Articles on FilamentFeed are AI-assisted and human-reviewed. We synthesize publicly available information from primary sources — government data, regulatory filings, official agency announcements, and reporting from established news outlets — into clear coverage for the maker community. We do not republish articles from other publications.

Independence and disclosure

FilamentFeed accepts paid sponsorships and runs display advertising. Sponsorships are clearly labeled wherever they appear on the site. Editorial coverage is independent of advertisers and is not influenced by sponsorship relationships.

FilamentFeed participates in the Amazon Associates program — recommended book links on the site earn a small commission at no cost to readers.
