In other words, an idea for a book you want to write is not protected by copyright, but the first draft of your manuscript is. Copyright protection ensures that the creator of a work has complete control over how their work is reproduced, distributed, performed, displayed, and adapted. You do not need to register your resource with the Canadian Copyright Office for this to come into effect; it is automatic.\u00a0 At SAIT, faculty and staff are supported in their use of copyrighted materials by the Copyright Officer at the Reg Erhardt Library.\n<h2>Licensing<\/h2>\nThe copyright status of a work determines what you can and cannot do with it.[footnote]Attribution: \"Licensing\" and \"Public Domain\" were adapted in part from UH OER Training by Billy Meinke, licensed CC BY 4.0.[\/footnote] As you begin to explore OER for use in your classroom, it is important that you understand both who holds the rights over the works you wish to use and the works you wish to create.\n\nMost copyrighted works are under full, \u201call rights reserved\u201d copyright. This means that they cannot be reused in any way without permission from the work\u2019s rights-holder. One way you can get permission to use someone else\u2019s work is through a [pb_glossary id=\"111\"]licence[\/pb_glossary], a statement or contract that allows you to perform, display, reproduce, or adapt a copyrighted work in the circumstances specified within the licence. For example, the copyright holder for an article might sign a licence to provide an institution the one-time rights to reproduce their article for classroom use.\n\nYou will also need to consider copyright and licensing if you wish to create OER. If work is created within the course of employment, the organization who employed the author may be the owner of the copyright and therefore specify the licensing requirements. \u00a0 Additional information about assigning an open licence to a work produced at SAIT will be discussed in the <em>Creating OER<\/em> chapter.\n<h2>Accessible Content<\/h2>\nIn the <a href=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.palomar.edu\/introductiontoopeneducationalresources\/chapter\/introduction#accessible\">Introduction to OER Chapter<\/a>, we reviewed the difference between OER and [pb_glossary id=\"110\"]accessible resources[\/pb_glossary]. When working in a digital platform, don't forget that linking to an online resource, whether from a general internet site or from a library database, will meet the copyright and licensing requirements.\u00a0 While you will not be able to retain, revise, or redistribute copies of the work, students will be able to access the content in the original location.\n<h2>Fair Dealing<\/h2>\nIf an \"all rights reserved\" copyright resource is available, you can make a [pb_glossary id=\"113\"]fair dealing[\/pb_glossary] assessment for reproducing or adapting that work. However, having explicit permission is preferable. The SAIT Copyright Officer and Librarians do not recommend using fully copyrighted works in OER projects without written permission from the work\u2019s rights-holder.\u00a0 Review SAIT's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sait.ca\/assets\/documents\/about-sait\/policies-and-procedures\/academic-student\/ac-2-12-1-schedule-a.pdf\">Fair Dealing Policy<\/a> (AC.2.12.1, Schedule A) or contact the SAIT Copyright Officer to learn more about how to apply fair dealing.\n<h2>Public Domain<\/h2>\nWorks that are no longer protected by copyright are considered part of the public domain. Items in the public domain can be reused and freely modified for any purpose by anyone, without giving attribution to the author or creator.[footnote]Of course, standard citation procedures still apply for creative works in the public domain. You cannot claim another's work as your own.[\/footnote]\n\nWorks in Canada typically enter the public domain 50 years\u00a0 after the death of the creator at the end of that calendar year, or when dedicated to the public domain by their rights-holder. The Creative Commons organization created a legal tool called <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/share-your-work\/public-domain\/cc0\/\">CC 0<\/a> to help creators dedicate their work to the public domain by releasing all rights to it.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_188\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cogdog\/2302375429\/in\/photolist-4vsh16-2gnLJMX-5xz3ZB-WgqH5X-TC3SFm-TY6Gbj-21AEg3o-2mYS9iL-SMqkjE-M3SJ9f-e4XL7F-SN1cYK-SqXrPS-2mD74SG-7WHGLc-9FiG9-Gffu8S-SN1dtH-W1DniN-M71Ddu-2fAQNtC-HSobM5-2mSR9PF-4uqjW1-U8W8w8-SUwcPV-oRxzgi-RCCa5r-SMqkNf-2hgwgSN-DvExCw-2n9kKPq-SN1dhv-Uku74c-Uku5Sp-MVLZmx-U8VWMn-UgRJ4m-SMqm9q-W4xuGG-RB3M5M-yapV28-2mZDqPB-WgqHu4-RB3LMc-VAxW8d-2iimT3L-L5nJnk-U6vnpb-FJS69N\"><img class=\"wp-image-32\" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.palomar.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/2302375429_a3b345e3d9_q.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/a> \"Canada, eh?\" by Alan Levine, is dedicated to the <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\">Public Domain<\/a>.\u00a0 You can view this image in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cogdog\/2302375429\/in\/photolist-4vsh16-2gnLJMX-5xz3ZB-WgqH5X-TC3SFm-TY6Gbj-21AEg3o-2mYS9iL-SMqkjE-M3SJ9f-e4XL7F-SN1cYK-SqXrPS-2mD74SG-7WHGLc-9FiG9-Gffu8S-SN1dtH-W1DniN-M71Ddu-2fAQNtC-HSobM5-2mSR9PF-4uqjW1-U8W8w8-SUwcPV-oRxzgi-RCCa5r-SMqkNf-2hgwgSN-DvExCw-2n9kKPq-SN1dhv-Uku74c-Uku5Sp-MVLZmx-U8VWMn-UgRJ4m-SMqm9q-W4xuGG-RB3M5M-yapV28-2mZDqPB-WgqHu4-RB3LMc-VAxW8d-2iimT3L-L5nJnk-U6vnpb-FJS69N\">Flikr image repository<\/a> to see the CC0 licence that was assigned when it was posted in 2008.[\/caption]\n\n&nbsp;\n<div class=\"textbox shaded\"><strong>Dig Deeper<\/strong>\nReview the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic.gc.ca\/eic\/site\/cipointernet-internetopic.nsf\/eng\/wr04784.html\"><em>Copyright - Learn the Basics<\/em> <\/a>online module from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office<\/div>\n&nbsp;\n<h1>Open Licences<\/h1>\nAll OER are made available under some type of [pb_glossary id=\"101\"]open licence[\/pb_glossary], a set of authorized permissions from the rights-holder of a work for any and all users. The most popular of these licences are [pb_glossary id=\"89\"]Creative Commons[\/pb_glossary] (CC) licences, customizable copyright licences that allow others to reuse, adapt, and re-publish content with few or no restrictions. CC licences allow creators to explain in plain language how their works can be used by others.\u00a0 If you locate a work with a CC licence, you can easily determine how you can incorporate the work into your course. If you assign an open licence to your work, you allow any user to exercise the rights allowed under the licence, and cannot restrict reuse by certain individuals or parties without changing the licence itself.\n\nCreative Commons licences will be explored in more detail in the next chapter. However, there are other open licences that can be applied to educational materials. A few of these licences are described below:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>GNU Free Documentation Licence<\/strong>: a [pb_glossary id=\"112\"]copyleft[\/pb_glossary] licence that grants the right to copy, redistribute, and modify a resource. It requires all copies and derivatives to be available under the same licence. Copies may be sold commercially, but the original document or source code must be made available to the user as well.[footnote]Free Sotware Foundation. \"GNU Free Documentation License.\" 2008. https:\/\/www.gnu.org\/licenses\/fdl.html[\/footnote]<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Free Art Licence<\/strong>: The FAL \u201cgrants the right to freely copy, distribute, and transform creative works without infringing the author\u2019s rights.\u201d It is meant to be applied to artistic works, not documents.[footnote]Copyleft Attitude. \"Free Art License 1.3.\" 2007. http:\/\/artlibre.org\/licence\/lal\/en\/[\/footnote]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"textbox shaded\"><strong>Dig Deeper\u00a0<\/strong>\nIf you\u2019re interested in learning more about open licences, feel free to explore the Free Software Foundation\u2019s information on copyleft licences, some of the first licences used for open content.[footnote]Free Software Foundation. \"What is Copyleft?.\" Accessed June 29, 2019.\u00a0https:\/\/www.gnu.org\/copyleft\/copyleft.html[\/footnote]<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">Why Open Licences?<\/h2>\nOpen licences are an integral part of what makes an educational resource an OER. The adaptability and reusability of OER make it so that they are not just free to access, but also free for instructors who want to alter the materials for use in their course. For example, in the figure below an openly licensed image has been traced to make it more readable for users.\n<figure aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-541\"><\/figure>\n<figure aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-541\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_541\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 500px\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-541\"><img class=\"wp-image-541\" src=\"https:\/\/iastate.pressbooks.pub\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/Adaptation-in-action.png\" alt=\"Two images of a flowering plant with pieces labeled: the first is fuzzy and out of focused, with the words &quot;CC 0 Universal Public Domain License, Kelvinsong&quot; beneath it.

This image was originally used to represent an improper recreation of a copyrighted work via tracing. In this example, it shows how an already open work can be<em> legally<\/em> recreated via tracing for readability.\n\nEarly in the open education movement, David Wiley introduced what became one of the foundational tenets of the field: the 5Rs[footnote]Wiley, David. \"Defining the 'Open' in Open Content and Open Educational Resources.\" Open Content blog, 2014. http:\/\/opencontent.org\/definition\/[\/footnote]. These five attributes lay out what it means for something to be truly \u201copen\".\n\nThe 5 Rs include:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Retain<\/strong> = the right to make, own, and control copies of the content.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Reuse<\/strong> = the right to use the content in a wide range of ways<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Revise<\/strong> = the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Remix<\/strong> = the right to combine the original or revised content with other open content to create something new<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Redistribute<\/strong> = the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhile the \u201credistribute\u201d and \u201crevise\u201d rights are the most commonly exercised rights in open education, each of the five plays an important role in the utility of an open educational resource. For example, without the right to \u201cremix\u201d materials, an instructor who teaches an interdisciplinary course would not be able to combine two disparate OER into a new resource that more closely fits their needs.\n\nIn the next chapter, we\u2019ll look at Creative Commons licences and how they facilitate the expression of the 5 Rs in unique ways.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n[h5p id=\"4\"]\n<div id=\"h5p-6\">\n<h1 class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><strong>Footnotes<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>","rendered":"<div class=\"textbox textbox--learning-objectives\">\n<header class=\"textbox__header\">\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">Learning Objectives<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\n<p>By the end of this section, you will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Define the concepts of copyright, fair dealing, open licensing, and public domain.<\/li>\n<li>Explain the purpose of copyright law in Canada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>An <a class=\"glossary-term\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-describedby=\"definition\" href=\"#term_33_101\">open licence<\/a> is a vital component of an open educational resource.

The adaptability and reusability of OER make it so that they are not just free to access, but also free for instructors who want to alter the materials for use in their course. For example, in the figure below an openly licensed image has been traced to make it more readable for users.<\/p>\n<figure aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-541\"><\/figure>\n<figure aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-541\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_541\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 500px\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-541\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-541\" src=\"https:\/\/iastate.pressbooks.pub\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/Adaptation-in-action.png\" alt=\"Two images of a flowering plant with pieces labeled: the first is fuzzy and out of focused, with the words &quot;CC 0 Universal Public Domain License, Kelvinsong&quot; beneath it.

These five attributes lay out what it means for something to be truly \u201copen&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The 5 Rs include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Retain<\/strong> = the right to make, own, and control copies of the content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reuse<\/strong> = the right to use the content in a wide range of ways<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revise<\/strong> = the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remix<\/strong> = the right to combine the original or revised content with other open content to create something new<\/li>\n<li><strong>Redistribute<\/strong> = the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the \u201credistribute\u201d and \u201crevise\u201d rights are the most commonly exercised rights in open education, each of the five plays an important role in the utility of an open educational resource. For example, without the right to \u201cremix\u201d materials, an instructor who teaches an interdisciplinary course would not be able to combine two disparate OER into a new resource that more closely fits their needs.<\/p>\n<p>In the next chapter, we\u2019ll look at Creative Commons licences and how they facilitate the expression of the 5 Rs in unique ways.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"h5p-4\">\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-4\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"4\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Copyright &amp; Open Content\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"h5p-6\">\n<h1 class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><strong>Footnotes<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<hr class=\"before-footnotes clear\" \/><div class=\"footnotes\"><ol><li id=\"footnote-33-1\">https:\/\/www.ic.gc.ca\/eic\/site\/cipointernet-internetopic.nsf\/eng\/h_wr02281.html#copyrightDefined <a href=\"#return-footnote-33-1\" class=\"return-footnote\" aria-label=\"Return to footnote 1\">&crarr;<\/a><\/li><li id=\"footnote-33-2\">https:\/\/www.ic.gc.ca\/eic\/site\/cipointernet-internetopic.nsf\/eng\/wr04784.html <a href=\"#return-footnote-33-2\" class=\"return-footnote\" aria-label=\"Return to footnote 2\">&crarr;<\/a><\/li><li id=\"footnote-33-3\">Attribution: \"Licensing\" and \"Public Domain\" were adapted in part from UH OER Training by Billy Meinke, licensed CC BY 4.0. <a href=\"#return-footnote-33-3\" class=\"return-footnote\" aria-label=\"Return to footnote 3\">&crarr;<\/a><\/li><li id=\"footnote-33-4\">Of course, standard citation procedures still apply for creative works in the public domain.
