Rules & Policy
Digital Licence & Sharing Rules
Our work is made to inspire. This page explains how you may share, use and adapt our content in a way that respects the spirit of shared creativity.
There is nothing truly new under the sun, but every distinct voice deserves its credit.
Sharing, With Clear Limits
We divide our digital assets into categories with different rules, designed to encourage creativity while protecting our brand identity.
Blog Content
The articles and the illustrations that accompany them are licensed under Creative Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0).
- Permitted: Sharing, adapting, even for commercial purposes.
- ⚠Required: Attribution (credit) to Hibrkraft, and sharing your derivative work under the same licence (Share-Alike).

Product Photographs
Our product photographs are licensed very flexibly, to inspire you.
- Permitted: Use on commercial blogs and social media; editing, filtering or cropping. Be creative!
- ⚠Required: Clear attribution (credit) to Hibrkraft.
Brand Assets
The Hibrkraft logo, slogans and site design elements are All Rights Reserved.
- ❌ Not permitted: Use, alteration or adaptation for any purpose without a formal written agreement from us.
- ⚠Required: This is our identity; please do not misuse it.
For Free Downloads, Media, Academics and Non-Profits
We believe in the power of sharing for a good purpose.
Free Download Assets
All the free material we provide (calendars or cards, for instance) is released into the public domain (as under a CC0 licence). You are free to:
- Use it, copy it, and share it with friends.
- Adapt it into new work.
- Even sell it, if you wish. No permission needed.
Media, Academic & Non-Profit Use
For use in media features, academic research or non-profit campaigns, you are welcome to use our content (particularly product photographs and quotations) without asking first. Simply give proper attribution. We fully support the spread of knowledge and social missions.
How to Give Good Attribution
“However you like, as long as you mention us.” — but if you want to get it exactly right, here is the form we prefer:
For a blog or a website: Photograph by Hibrkraft.
For social media: just tag our account, or mention “Hibrkraft” in your caption.
Common Questions on the Digital Licence
So, may I use your product photographs in a blog post that carries advertising?
Of course you may. We permit our product photographs to be used for commercial purposes — a sponsored blog post, a product review — as long as you give clear credit (attribution) to Hibrkraft.
What is the main difference between the Blog licence and the Product Photograph licence?
The Blog Content licence carries a ‘Share-Alike’ condition. That means if you adapt our blog content, your new work must also be licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. The Product Photograph licence is freer; you only need to give credit, with no Share-Alike obligation.
May I use the Hibrkraft logo in my presentation?
Please do not use our logo. The logo is a protected brand asset. For a presentation, or any other visual need, please use our product photographs instead — that is exactly what we provide them for.
I downloaded your free calendar. May I print it and sell it in my shop?
Yes, please do. We release our free download assets under a very open licence. You may print them, share them, or even sell them. We are glad when our work can help your own.
STILL UNSURE? LET'S TALK
Our aim is to encourage creativity, not to restrict it. If you are in any doubt, or have a collaboration idea this policy does not cover, please just ask.
