“Free for Education”

Recently launched by AEShareNet, the ‘Free for Education’ mark will simplify copyright issues associated with intellectual property and web content for all educational organisations.

Content owners can now attach the Free for Education symbol to their information. The mark means educational organisations can freely use the materials for educational purposes, including making and giving copies to learners, without having to seek permission.

An educational organisation may charge learners on a cost-recovery basis for copies of material containing Free for Education items, but are not permitted to supply or sell copies to a third party.
