does not need to display a copyright notice to be legally copyrighted
- do not assume software is in the public domain even if it does
not carry a copyright notice. License agreements may broaden or
narrow the rights allowed under the Copyright
Act. You should consult the license agreement or contact the
copyright owner before making adaptations of programs not purchased.
- You may:
- adapt
a program you have purchased so it can be used on your computer.
- make one
copy to use if the original is stored.
- make copies
of shareware. Do not make copies if the software does not specifically
state that it is shareware.
- You should
not:
- make a
program, with a single machine license, available on the college
network or to others either on or off campus.
- allow
more copies to be simultaneously used than purchased or licensed.
- make copies
of software licensed or owned by the College for your personal
use except where explicitly allowed by the software vendor.
