Automatically Permitted Distribution
Unless the specific web page from which CELDF text material is available indicates you may not do so, you may copy or distribute text materials that appear on the CELDF Site, in print or digital format, subject to three limitations:
- You may not use the materials for any commercial purpose, including any purpose connected with the sale of goods or services;

- You may not excerpt, juxtapose, or present attributed material in any way that is misleading as to our original editorial intent, or as to your relationship with us.
You may also copy or distribute CELDF Content that is not CELDF text materials if and only to the extent that the specific launching page from which that CELDF Content is accessible, and/or the CELDF Content itself, explicitly indicates that the CELDF Content may be distributed in a specified manner, subject to the same three limitations stated above.
All distributed copies, whether of text or non-text materials, must display the following copyright notice:
