Can I use information from the Usability SIG mailing list in other forums (for example, in UTEST, in a corporate style guide, in a book)?
This question gets complex since it involves copyright and fair use issues. The safest guideline here is to always ask permission from the creator of a message if you want to use any message content for other purposes (for example, a book chapter, or seminar). Direct quotes should always receive proper attribution and keep in mind that the submitter of the message retains copyright. If someone submits a paper for review, for example, it would be a copyright violation to make copies of that paper for others at your company. Also, we want to protect the privacy of people in the SIG and make it a safe place to get review feedback on ideas, drafts of papers, or course notes.
