give us what you have, we shall translate it, change it, and then use it. And you will never hear from us again…”

Why do we need a copyright policy? Immense human capital to

produce the course materials There is a global market for

distance-learning course materials Protect ourselves against piracy

When we shall hand-over produced materials? There is a serious interest in introducing a SE

course based on this material or / and There is a serious interest in including larger

parts of this course in other courses related to SE or / and

There is a serious interest to take part in an international scientific multi-lingual distance-education project and

It must be assured that the course material will be password-protected on local servers. PDF-versions can be delivered to the students, however also password-protected.
