Distribution License

When you deposit material, you will be required to grant the University of Delaware a non-exclusive distribution license for the material that you are distributing. This license gives us permission to store your material, and make it findable through the web. It does not require you to give up your copyright, and it allows you to share the material in other places besides UDSpace, if you choose to. The text of the license is below.

 

UDSPACE NON-EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION LICENSE

To properly administer this Institutional Repository and preserve the contents for future use, the University of Delaware requires certain permissions from you, the author(s) or copyright owner. By accepting this license, you still retain copyright to your work. You do not give up the right to submit the work to publishers or other repositories.

By accepting this license, you grant to the University of Delaware the non-exclusive right to reproduce, translate (as defined below), and/or distribute your submission (including the metadata and abstract) worldwide, in any format or medium for non-commercial, academic purposes only.

The University of Delaware will clearly identify your name(s) as the author(s) or owner(s) of the submission, including a statement of your copyright, and will not make any alteration, other than as allowed by this license, to your submission.

You agree that the University of Delaware may, without changing the content, translate the submission to any medium or format and keep more than one copy for the purposes of security, back up and preservation.

You also agree that authorized readers of your work have the right to use it for non-commercial, academic purposes as defined by the “fair use” doctrine of U.S. copyright law, so long as all attributions and copyright statements are retained.

You represent that the submission is your original work, and that you have the right to grant the rights contained in this license. You also represent that your submission does not, to the best of your knowledge, infringe upon anyone’s copyright.

If the submission contains material for which you do not hold copyright, you represent that you have obtained the unrestricted permission of the copyright owner to grant the University of Delaware the rights required by this license, and that such third-party owned material is clearly identified and acknowledged within the text or content of the submission.

IF THE SUBMISSION IS BASED UPON WORK THAT HAS BEEN SPONSORED OR SUPPORTED BY AN AGENCY OR ORGANIZATION OTHER THAN THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE FULFILLED ANY RIGHT OF REVIEW OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS REQUIRED BY THAT CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT.
