The 'Amateur Radio Courses' on Compact Disc may be freely duplicated and distributed provided that the following conditions are met

• The project file must be supplied in its entirety. No files may be omitted, nor any change is made to the contents, 
• no charge may made for the supply of the CD save that which may be calculated to reasonably cover the costs of reproduction. In this, material and postage costs only may be charged. The charging of time, labour, or any and all other incidental expenses is forbidden. It has been calculated that reasonable reproduction costs would amount to no more than £0.30 sterling plus postage.
• The file may be reproduced on compact disc format only. It may not be redistributed by any other means including, but not limited to, electronic distribution and incorporation into other websites.

Distribution other than in accordance with the above conditions requires the written authorisation of the group, as does any and all modification, amendment, translation to other forms or languages.

Not withstanding the above, permission is hereby given for the following specified organisations to distribute the CD at a charge of £1 sterling. It has been calculated that the cost of a blank CD-R plus sleeve should be no more than about £0.50 sterling. This would leave £0.50 sterling per copy distributed for donation to that organisation's funds. The transfer of these surplus funds to another organisation is forbidden.

The only organisations permitted to do this are

• Radio clubs
• Repeater groups
• Primary and secondary state funded schools within the United Kingdom and Eire
• Packet radio groups
• Raynet groups (In this context, this should be taken to include all amateur radio groups performing Raynet type functions whether or not affiliated to the RSGB and/or RAEN Ltd)

All other organisations, or those wishing to vary the charged price, must first seek the permission of  "Amateur Radio Courses"
