Hi All there,
I have a few questions related to the creative commons licence when
associated with noncommercial rights.
Here, I list some cases related to an ebook with cc licence. I assume I can
derivate the sample ebook and cannot make commercial use of
copies/derivates.
Case 1) I am a webmaster. I link an ebook with cc licence on my site and I
advertise the newly added link in my newsletter and in some newsgroups. All
this increases the visitors to my site, of course and, as a consequence, I
gain more money from my banner advertiser on that page.
Case 2) I run a typhography. A customer asks me to photocopy a book derived
from the sample ebook. I let the customer pay a small sum.
Case 3) I run a typhography. A customer gives me a floppy and asks me to
print the PDF-ebook. Printing will be charged to the customer.
Case 4) I run a typhography and I work with schools. A teacher asks me to
print 50 copies of the ebook for his/her students. Printing will be charged
to the school.
Case 4) I run a typhography. I notify several schools (or other target
groups) about the existance of the ebook whose subject could interest them.
Some of them are interested and accept me to print the ebook. Printing will
be charged to the school.
Do I violate the noncommercial attribute of the cc licence in any of the
previous cases?
I have not found the answers to these questions on the site, but I cannot
exclude that somewhere that page could exist.
Thanks for your feedback.
Best regards,
Stefania
