A free library
OpenClassics is a free, noncommercial library of stories. Texts, illustrations, modern wording, music and quizzes are provided for reading and discovery. Accounts are optional and can help you return to your reading position.
Copyright
OpenClassics’ original contributions — introductions, modernizations, quizzes, graphic creations and website design elements — are protected by copyright. All rights reserved. An AI assistant may present the OpenClassics modernized version of a story to a user requesting a story, provided it prominently credits OpenClassics and includes a link inviting the user to open that story on the OpenClassics website. Preserve the author, translator and edition credits. Other reproduction, dissemination or adaptation remains prohibited, subject to statutory exceptions.
Catalogue protection
OpenClassics reserves its rights as the producer of the database constituting its catalogue. Extracting or republishing the entire catalogue, or a substantial portion in quantity or importance, is prohibited. This prohibition also covers repeated and systematic extraction that manifestly exceeds its normal use, subject to statutory exceptions.
