Republishing & Licences
We want our work to travel. This page explains what you may republish, under what conditions, and how to credit us.
Our own work: CC BY 4.0
Everything written by Brussels Record (original analysis, guides, series introductions and editorial notes) is published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0). You may republish it online or in print, in whole or in part, translate it, and use it commercially. The only condition is credit.
How to credit us
Please use a line like this, with a working link back to the original article:
<p>This article was originally published by <a href="https://brusselsrecord.com/">Brussels Record</a> and is republished under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">CC BY 4.0</a> licence.</p>If you republish online, we ask two small technical favours that are not licence conditions but help readers find the source: keep the link to the original crawlable, and, if your system allows it, set the canonical URL to the original article.
Work we republished from others
Until September 2026 the site also republished selected reporting from organisations that publish under open licences, among them the Electronic Frontier Foundation, EDRi and Global Voices. That has ended. The republished pieces still online stay as part of the record, with their bylines, a note on where each first appeared and a link back to it, under the licence its author chose. We do not claim these texts as our own and we cannot relicense them. If you want to republish such an article, follow the licence of the original publisher, not ours.
What we ask of everyone
Do not change quotes, numbers or conclusions. If you shorten a piece, say so. Do not present the work as something it is not.
Corrections
Factual errors are corrected as soon as the facts can be confirmed. Substantive corrections carry a dated note at the foot of the article. Write to info@brusselsrecord.com.
How this site works
Brussels Record is a small independent site. It publishes its own work: live records of what applies in the EU, one explanatory series and practical guides, so that a reader can follow a story instead of a single headline. Until September 2026 it also republished credited reporting from open-licence publishers. Translation and preparation of texts is assisted by AI tools. Every editorial decision is made by a human editor: what is published, how it is framed, what is corrected.
