What does OpenLearn mean by ‘non-commercial’ use of OpenLearn materials?
The Open University considers ‘non-commercial’ to include educational institutions, commercial companies or individuals making use of OpenLearn content on a cost-recovery basis. • You may use OpenLearn content in any format or medium, including photocopied or hard copy printouts, and make a small charge in order to recover the cost of printing. • You may use content as part of a course for which you charge an admission fee. • You may charge a fee for any value added services you add in producing or teaching based around the content providing that the content itself is not licensed to generate a separate, profitable income. If you are not sure if your use is ‘non-commercial’ contact us and tell us about it using the Contact us facility on our home page. Choose ‘Intellectual property’ from the drop down list at the top of the feedback form on the Contact us page. Our intention is to make these materials as widely and as freely available as possible.
