- Edits and Derivative Works: Feel free to publish our story verbatim on your website. However, if you wish to make any changes, such as copy edits or retitling the article, you can do so, while still attributing Stacker as the original source. Ensure that you provide a link back to the original article and explicitly mention the types of edits made.
