Examples of non-commercial and commercial use

Creative Commons defines non-commercial use as – “not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation. For purposes of this Public License, the exchange of the Licensed Material for other material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights by digital file-sharing or similar means is Non-Commercial provided there is no payment of monetary compensation in connection with the exchange.” As such please see the below three examples of use and EUPATI's opinion on these.

• Example 1: ‘My company is recruiting for a clinical trial and we’d like to point our participants to EUPATI material as a resource to learn about how medicines development works, or we’d like to use EUPATI material as a base to develop material to inform participants about medicines development.’ - EUPATI’s opinion: Non-commercial.
• Example 2: ‘I want to use EUPATI material to run a non-for-profit workshop/training. I want to charge workshop participants a fee to cover the costs of hosting the workshop.’ - EUPATI’s opinion: Non-commercial. You may take contributions to cover the direct cost of workshop amenities — e.g. venue, room rent, food, drink, etc., as no ‘profit’ is being made.
• Example 3: ‘I want to use EUPATI material (or a derivative of EUPATI material) to run a workshop/training course. I want to charge participants a fee to cover the costs of the event and to make a profit. - EUPATI’s opinion: Commercial. Conferences run e.g. by professional conference organisers would be considered commercial use. Please contact info@eupati.eu to discuss your options.
