They are copyleft , and held in custodial trust on behalf of the volunteer contributors who share their information and knowledge using the EcoPort system and service thereby to create a protected knowledge commons as a global public good. This means you may use them freely, in perpetuity and in any electronic or printed format, for personal and public educational use or to promote any cause that contributes to, or serves a public good.

If you want to use resources found in EcoPort for financial gain or commercial purposes, e.g. in commercial databases, websites, printed publications, products such as CD-ROMs or advertising of commercial services, then you must contact the original EcoPort contributor for (a) permission and (b) to negotiate terms of use and revenue-sharing. If you cannot establish direct contact with the author or the sponsoring institution through the links provided in EcoPort, then you may do this by e-mail through the EcoPort Supervisor.

As a general rule of thumb, if your organisation or enterprise is registered as a public benefits organisation (PBO; and this is defined differently in different legal systems) rather than a commercial company, then you will probably find the copyleft regime useful and acceptable. In contrast, if you are a company established to make a profit, then using EcoPort information will somewhere along the line, probably be a factor in your profit making, and then the onus is on you to respect the copyright of the relevant EcoPort contributer.

(Contact the supervisor if you want further clarification of EcoPort’s policy on intellectual property rights management.)
