1.1. Cumulative Conditions of Application

- Strictly Non-Commercial Use (NC): No commercial exploitation, paid publication, direct advertising monetization or resale of William Guindon's original content is permitted without prior written agreement.

In accordance with the Canadian Copyright Act (R.S.C. (1985), c. C-42, arts. 29 to 29.2), these provisions in no way restrict the fair dealing exceptions granted for private study, academic research, criticism, journalistic reporting or the communication of international quasi-judicial proceedings before the Commission de coopération environnementale (CCE / ACEUM (Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement)).

This CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license does NOT apply to third-party software, dependencies and libraries integrated into the repository (e.g. PDF.js under Apache-2.0, EmbedPDF under MIT, Viewer.js under MIT, GrapesJS under BSD-3-Clause, Curtains.js under MIT, nostr-tools under Unlicense, etc.).

2. Official Graphic Charter
The visual identity of williamguindon.me reflects the balance between the institutional rigor of the international legal file SEM-26-003 and the living preservation of the peat biodiversity of Blainville.
2.1. System Color Palette
2.2. Typography
- Titles and Main Lines: High fidelity native system font (system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto) ensuring absolute loading speed (0 KB network latency).
- Cryptographic Code and Fingerprints: Fixed width font (ui-monospace, SFMano-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, monospace) for the unalterable display of SHA-256 hashes and PGP/Nostr signatures.
3. Official Logos and Monograms (Download & Formats)
The intertwined “WG” monogram symbolizes the intersection between citizen inquiry and the defense of nature (emerald aCCEnt bar).
Technical Format Recommendations:
• SVG (Vector): Recommended format par excellence for the Web and print media (infinite sharpness, ultra-light weight < 3 KB). • WebP: Optimized reference raster format for modern applications and previews (70% more compact than PNG with full alpha transparency). • JPEG XL (.jxl): New generation high fidelity archival format. Note: JPEG XL is not yet enabled by default in all commercial browsers, but remains available upon request for graphic archives.
