MyWhatever.com Interpretation of "Non-commercial"

Non-commercial use means that users may not sell, profit from, or commercialize MyWhatever.com materials or works derived from them. The guidelines below are intended to help users determine whether or not their use of MyWhatever.com materials would be permitted by MyWhatever.com under the "non-commercial" restriction. Note that there are additional requirements (attribution and share alike) required by our license.

1. Commercialization is prohibited. Users may not directly sell or profit from MyWhatever.com materials or from works derived from MyWhatever.com materials.
   
   Example: A commercial education or training business may not offer courses based on MyWhatever.com materials if students pay a fee for those courses and the business intends to profit as a result.
   
   
2. Determination of commercial vs. non-commercial purpose is based on the use, not the user. Materials may be used by individuals, institutions, governments, corporations, or other business whether for-profit or non-profit so long as the use itself is not a commercialization of the materials or a use that is directly intended to generate sales or profit.
   
   Example: A corporation may use MyWhatever.com materials for internal professional development and training purposes.
   
   
3. Incidental charges to recover reasonable reproduction costs may be permitted. Recovery of nominal actual costs for copying small amounts (under 1000 copies) of MyWhatever.com content on paper or CDs is allowed for educational purposes so long as there is no profit motive and so long as the intended use of the copies is in compliance with all license terms. Students must be informed that the materials are freely available on the MyWhatever.com Web site and that their purchase of copied materials is optional.
   
   Example: An institution in a remote area has limited Internet access and limited network infrastructure on campus, and a professor offers to create CDs of MyWhatever.com materials relevant to her course. The professor may recover the costs of creating the CDs. Under no circumstances will MyWhatever.com provide funding for redistribution of our materials.

If you have questions about acceptable use of MyWhatever.com materials, please contact us.
