Sources and licences
eXir computes rather than copies, but everything it computes from came from somewhere. These are the sources, and the terms each one carries.
Photographs are credited on the photograph
Every image carries an “i” that opens its own record — the file, the author, the licence, the treatment applied and the alt text — beside the picture rather than in a list somewhere else. This page is for the terms that apply to a whole source, which no single image can state on its own.

Cropping and grading makes an adaptation. A share-alike file is offered on the same terms and the change is named in its credit. Public domain and CC-BY are preferred wherever the quality is comparable.
Photography
Every image is credited on the image itself.- Gives
- Every photograph on the site, chosen by hand and put through one treatment.
- Terms
- Per-file licences. Cropping and grading makes an adaptation, so a share-alike file obliges the result and the change is named in that image’s own credit.
- Gives
- Composition for branded products no dataset carries, and images where Commons has none.
- Terms
- Database contents under the Open Database Licence: attribution and share-alike.
Measured data
Where the numbers the site computes from come from.- Gives
- Spirits by proof, wine, beer, juices, dairy, sugars, syrups, brewed coffee and tea — the first place every figure is looked for.
- Terms
- Work of the United States federal government.
Producers’ published figures
cited- Gives
- Alcohol content and sugar for proprietary products, where the producer publishes them and no dataset carries the product.
- Terms
- Cited as published, on the ingredient’s own page. The site computes from them and never reproduces a producer’s arithmetic.
- Gives
- Producer, country of origin and founding year for brands, and catalogue cross-checks.
- Terms
- No attribution required. Given anyway.
Published standards
Documents rather than datasets — models and denominators, applied rather than reproduced.Liquid Intelligence: The Art and Science of the Perfect Cocktail
cited- Gives
- Dave Arnold’s closed-form stirred-dilution model. Every final volume and every ABV on the site descends from it.
- Terms
- Applied, not reproduced. The formula is used; the text is not copied.
- Gives
- 55 g of coffee per litre, ±10% — the band a brewed drink’s own ratio is shown against.
- Terms
- Published by the Specialty Coffee Association.
Standard-drink definitions
cited- Gives
- The two denominators on every alcoholic drink: US at 14 g and UK at 8 g. Both, because the authorities differ.
- Terms
- Public health guidance, cited per denominator.
- Gives
- The reference amounts any share of a daily value is stated against.
- Terms
- Work of the United States federal government.
- Gives
- 700 ml in the EU and 750 ml in the US — the bottle sizes the party planner divides by, and the only package size on the site.
- Terms
- Legislation and federal regulation.
