My wiki:Copyrights

Internet copyright is extremely complicated, and it is the hope of this page to convey what constitutes as copyright while being simple and concise. If you have taken an image yourself or the image is from public domain* and/or the creative commons** it is fair to use. Any text that is created by the user, form the public domain*, and/or the creative commons is fair to use. This means that images and text from public (government) university sites that is intended for student study use is fair game unless it has been explicitly stated copyrighted on the site. Private university sites and documents made for the purpose of research, closed classes***, or explicitly copyrighted material is not fair use.
