At MyPE, our goal is to promote Port Elizabeth, it’s citizens, sport, culture and business, and we encourage you to share MyPE articles and images widely.

If you have any further questions after reviewing this, please contact MyPE.

Is MyPE material copyrighted?
Yes. Creative Commons licensing doesn’t replace copyright – which remains undivided with MyPE – but it makes the terms more flexible.

What does the MyPE Creative Commons license allow?
We make MyPE material available under the Creative Commons license “Attribution – NonCommercial – NonDerivative” in order to allow non-commercial entities (bloggers, educators, groups of friends) to use them freely and easily. But important restrictions apply, particularly for corporations.

MyPE’s Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license allows you to display MyPE material under the following conditions:

  • NonCommercial (NC): You can’t use MyPE material (or any parts of them) for commercial purposes. If you are a company wishing to use MyPE content/images, you will require a Distribution Partner License Agreement with MyPE. Please contact MyPE to explore this opportunity.
  • NonDerivative (ND): You cannot alter the content/images in any way. This means you cannot edit, remix, cut, shorten, add overlays to them, or, well, alter them in any way.

These conditions can be modified only by explicit permission of the copyright holder (MyPE). The complete text of the license can be seen on the Creative Commons (CC) license.

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
