# Content attribution and adaptation

## Source guide

The source guide content in this project comes from [eternity4719/HowToLiveBetter](https://github.com/eternity4719/HowToLiveBetter), pinned at commit `a994b6a0c90598b0fe15cb837343f438dbf7b95d` and captured on 2026-10-09. This snapshot contains 34 chapters and 675 numbered entries. The upstream content is licensed under [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

The Chinese source entries, English renderings, summaries, evidence grades, applicability notes and source links are retained in the guide pages and offline editions. The site links each entry back to its chapter source.

## English translation

The paired English translation source is [parveen0029/The-Evidence-Based-Life](https://github.com/parveen0029/The-Evidence-Based-Life), pinned at commit `be53472dac6ac15b6c548b20ca0c2f753e6d22a0`, captured on 2026-10-09, and licensed under CC BY 4.0. That snapshot supplies 649 full translations. For 26 entries without a paired English entry, this project provides a reviewed, concise English rendering; the original Chinese text remains available beside it.

## Changes made here

This project reorganizes the source into a searchable reading site, preserves original text and evidence context, and adds original satirical inversions, prompts, essays, glossary analogies and interface copy. The reversals are new editorial material. They do not replace or purport to revise the evidence in the source guide. Sensitive health, emergency, legal, financial and personal-safety content remains factual and source-linked.

The public feature inventory at howtolivebetter.net informed the observed list of features and topic coverage only. This is attribution, not a recommendation. This project does not include that website's prose, art, name or code.

## Scope

This notice covers adapted guide content. It does not change the upstream software license, the ShipAny template license, or rights in third-party sources linked by the guide. Each linked source retains its own terms. Project-authored essays, inversions, prompts and UI text are distinct from the CC BY source text; do not assume the source guide's license grants rights to other template or third-party materials.
