Keeping attribution helps people find the work, which helps me as a creator make a living doing this—thank you.
It's great when people share Sketchplanations, so please use sketches to illustrate your points in:
a work or consulting presentation
your course
your LinkedIn post for your company
your Instagram story or post
your article
a magazine or newspaper article
your email newsletter or the like...
...as long as you give credit. In fact, I'd love you to use them to make a point, help explain something for others, further your career, or teach something to your students. That's what they're for!
I'll reach out to the author to ask about this further.
I sent the following e-mail:
Hi Jono,
Nice to e-meet you!
My name is Tal Galili, and I’m a research scientist at Meta. I’m reaching out as the co-author of an open source Python package called balance, which helps researchers and data scientists address sampling bias in survey and observational data.
I came across your excellent sketch on sampling bias, and I’d love to include it in our project’s documentation on github, the website (http://import-balance.org/), presentations, and maybe in future versions of our academic papers (current arXiv version). I believe it would be a fantastic visual aid for our users!
I’ve read your Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License and your helpful summary on the site. While our project is open source and not sold commercially, I wanted to clarify a few points:
Is it permitted to use your sketch on our GitHub repository, project website, and in materials presenting the work (e.g., talks, slides)?
2. Are there any restrictions or requirements for open source projects hosted on platforms like GitHub?
3. Is there anything specific you’d like us to include for attribution (e.g., a link to your site, social profile, etc.)?
4. Could we also use the image in a future publication? (what if the paper will be published in a paid journal?)
To make things easier, I’ve opened a GitHub issue where you can leave an explicit comment about what you do or don’t allow regarding the use of your image:

Your confirmation and any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for creating such helpful and inspiring work!
