The ORBi user may read, download, copy, distribute and print the work as long as he undertakes to:
- Indicate, in any quotation, the source of the work and the name(s) of the author(s)
- Not to modify, transform or adapt the work without the explicit permission of the author
- Not to use the work for commercial purposes
- Not to use the work in such a way as to interfere with its exploitation in other forms
What about copyright?
Contrary to popular belief, open access to documents does not change the rights that an author has over his or her publication. It is therefore not possible to do what you want with open access documents.
If the file is under a Creative Commons license
The ORBi user must comply with the conditions prescribed by the CC license under which the document is published.
How do I choose a license?
If the reference is not open access
Restricted access documents are only accessible to identified members of the Institution's staff. Documents with private access are only visible and accessible to the authors and co-authors of the reference and therefore cannot be used by third parties.
