License for resources

Most of OpenIntro's resources, including the Statistics textbooks, are released under a Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 license. Some files are downloaded in a zip directory (or Github repository) include a Read Me file and provide special guidelines to fulfill the attribution component of the license is fulfilled. Derivative works should also be clearly licensed under the Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 license, e.g. by linking to the CC license, so that others may continue to benefit from sharing.

Derivative work cannot be branded or titled in a way that suggests the derivative work is an OpenIntro product or is endorsed by OpenIntro. For example, printing books using the original title of an OpenIntro textbook (to remove ambiguity, this inclues the translation equivalent), such as OpenIntro Statistics or Advanced High School Statistics as examples, is not permitted. Similarly, simply rearranging the words of the title also is insufficient for distinguishing the derivative work. (More information may be found here.) OpenIntro is also a registered trademark. If you would like for a derivative work to branded as an OpenIntro resource or to use the same title (e.g. if the derivative is a translation), please contact us.

Textbooks that OpenIntro features in our Partner Program are not owned by OpenIntro. You will need to review the license for such textbooks and/or contact the authors for more information.

Branding elements (e.g. trademark and logo), OpenIntro's website, book covers, etc are also copyrighted and are not licensed for general use.
