Distribution of copied material

Distribution of copied material

If the copied material is to be shared in print, then this may be done as handouts, class or lecturer notes, or compiled worksheets, or other forms of printed document. The important point here is that the material must only be distributed to a defined group of recipients, for example a class of students or a department in an organisation. Unrestricted distribution beyond the group of persons authorised by the licence to receive copied material (ie students of an education institution or members of a non-profit organisation) is not permitted.

If the copied material is to be shared in digital format, then this may be done through an interactive whiteboard or on screen, by email, or through password-protected intranet sites and learning management systems. In all cases these must only be accessible to the defined group of recipients within the licenceholder organisation.
