What it does not cover.

The original text

The text of each book belongs to its author and translator, and follows the terms of the source it came from. The license above does not change that.

AI-made images

In some countries, images made with AI may not carry copyright at all. We license what we can, and no more.

The name and logo

Sutur and its mark identify this site. Please do not use them to suggest your work comes from us.

Where the books come from.

The Arabic texts we adapt come from a free library run by a nonprofit. We link it so you can read the originals, and check each book's own terms there.
