So, I just spent the last couple hours slapping a Creative Commons license on every chapter I’ve posted so far and every Encyclopedia Realmgardica page.
Specifically the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).
FYI, the notice looks like this:

A summary of what exactly that means is available here and the full license is here.
I’ll spare you a long-winded legal lecture, but in terms of what that means for you is, most fundamentally, please don’t steal my copyrighted material or try to sell it.
Under the terms of the license, you are free to share my material for non-commercial use as long as you include an attribution to me. I.e., somehow indicate the original work was written by J.B. Norman when you share it.
You may not share derivative works based on my copyrighted material.
Honestly, as long as you’re not trying to pass my stuff off as your own, this will have very little actual effect on you.
