Every file carries the attribution band "aigovernanceengineer.com · CC BY 4.0 · v0.5.0" inside the image, and the version is in the file name, so a copy always says where it came from and which edition it shows. The SVGs keep the text live: the first follows the viewer's light or dark setting, the other two fix one theme for slides and print. The PNGs are drawn with the site's own typefaces.
