Additional Guidelines for Webmasters on Linking/Repurposing/Permissioning
We at Weld Data Systems are very active participants in the Internet
culture, and we appreciate and support its openness. We strive to
produce high-quality, but hassle-free content-minimizing access
problems for professors and students who use our textbook products.
Note that we can only continue in this hassle-free environment if
our copyrights are respected. In short, please don't mistake our
lack of password protection for leniency-we take copyright
violations very seriously.
REPURPOSING OUR SOURCE CODE
All of the source code on this site is copyrighted, whether html,
JavaScript, or otherwise. If you would like to use our source code
for any reason, please send a request to neil@weldtrack.com
LINKING
Establishing standard hypertext links to our Companion Websites is a
welcome extension of Internet culture, and we invite adopting
faculty, or students who have purchased our texts, to establish
links to our Companion Websites. We require no formal notice that
you've linked to our site, although we do appreciate standard
notifications be sent to neil@weldtrack.com when
you have done so. This will allow us to notify you in the event that
the URL for a site changes, or if we remove content from our site.
Note however that the current practice known as "framing" where a
link is established in such a way as to display our content in some
form other than it is displayed in full view by our server, or
otherwise displaying our content only partially, or without our
copyright notice, is definitely uninvited, unwelcome and possibly,
in violation of the law. Note that we are very willing participants
in Internet culture (and we provide most of our content to the
Internet community free of charge), but we do take copyright very
seriously.
