( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
One was a link where a person had mirrored my course...

Taking your content, and placing it on their servers for display without your permission is not a very polite thing to do. You would be completely justified in asking them to take it down and replace it with a link to your site.

Nowhere does it list how people may or may not link to it.

I haven't heard of a single country in which people need your permission to link to a website. Links that misrepresent the course (e.g. click here for the course cjf wrote ;) may be another matter.

Are their any legal issues that I should be worried about?

I would ask anyone mirroring your course to replace their mirror with a link. Suggest this is because you want to ensure the content is up to date and they'll likely agree. I wouldn't worry about who's linking to your site though, it's not something you can really control, and I'm not sure why you would want to.

Update: As for a notice of copyright this says:

The use of a copyright notice is no longer required under U.S. law, although it is often beneficial. Because prior law did contain such a requirement, however, the use of notice is still relevant to the copyright status of older works.

And a few more relevant links:

Hope that helps :).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
