2. Informational purposes only

The Site shares information about Dr. Barry's background, research, books, projects and views, including articles on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and related topics. This content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

You may not otherwise copy, republish, sell or create derivative works from the Site's content, or use the Dr. Barry name or logo in a way that suggests endorsement, without our written permission.

Books, dissertations, open-source projects and other works linked from the Site are governed by their own copyright notices and licenses.
