## Setting Up Your Own Site

You are permitted to set up a Views of the Solar System mirror site as long as you follow the following guidelines: Views of the Solar System may be distributed on the World Wide Web as long as it is used for non-profit applications and the pages are not modified. Most of the material is in the public domain and can be used anywhere, but a significant amount is not in the public domain. I have permission to use all of the material as part of Views of the Solar System on the World Wide Web, but some of the material I have not been given permission to publish in other formats. This basically means that you cannot change the material or publish it without obtaining proper permissions. For additional information consult the copyright page.

At the bottom of each page of Views of the Solar System is a HOST button that links to host.htm. You may modify the host.htm file to point to your host. I would appreciate that you leave the link to the most up-to-date mirror listing, the link to the main server, the Views of the Solar System icon, and my name at the bottom of the page. You may add additional buttons and information about your server. Here's what you need to do to obtain a mirror copy:
