Hi,
I have seen many books based almost entirely on these courses being sold by private companies for profit. I want to know what the usage restrictions for these materials are. I want to create a website for korean learning either with my own domain or simply just a wikibook or something. The largest part of the website would be just the FSI material in HTML format (I was thinking about this because working with the pdfs are sometimes not that great) and maybe rearranged a bit just to make it easier to read. I want to know if this would be completely legal or do some restrictions still apply. Also for the audio, ould you just upload it without having any worries?? THank You! |

It depends.
If you post the material on a website, you'll need to check the copyright laws of the country hosting the server. Even of the material is in the public domain in the US, it may not be in other countries. This is especially true in non-EU countries. Here's something I wrote about how I determine the copyright status of the material I post. http://fsi-language-courses.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=485 Needless to say, if you have any doubt, you should verify the material status with a copyright attorney. |
