4 Licensing Guidelines: Copyright Licensing Guidelines
3. DISPLAYING THE MATERIAL
(a) You must not use the material in a way that might mislead the public, for example by using
the material in such a way as to suggest that your product or service is produced by or supported
by AXELOS, this might happen if you:
copy the look, style or appearance of AXELOS source material, for example by copying the
same fonts, colours, layout, etc on the cover of your product;
by using the copyright material in a prominent manner on the cover of your product or
service, for example by using AXELOS diagrams or text;
use words that are associated with the official source material to describe your product,
for example using the words or phrases like “official” or “from the originators of ITIL” etc
in association with your product;
do not prominently display your organisations name or brand on your product or marketing
material;
use the copyright material for the principle purpose of advertising or promoting a
particular product or service, which could imply that it is endorsed or supported by
AXELOS.
4. COPYRIGHT STATEMENTS
(a) When using AXELOS material you must identify the source from which it was taken as well as
include the copyright acknowledgement statement. The following sections provide you with advice
on how to do this.
(b) Following the transfer of the product portfolio from Cabinet Office to AXELOS, the copyright
statements have changed to reflect the new ownership i.e. “Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2013.”
The following sections provide you with advice on how to do this.
(c) If you would like any help or advice about how to display the copyright statements please
contact the Licensing team via licensing@axelos.com
i. Copyright Text
(a)
How to acknowledge the source
When using AXELOS material you should provide details of the source from where the material was
taken. This should include the title of the publication and the year as a minimum but can also
include details of the chapter heading, or a subject descriptor e.g. ‘change management’ or even a
page number.
Once you have decided the appropriate source acknowledgement statement you will then need to
identify the material that has come from that source. This can be done in a number of ways and
will depend largely on what suits each individual Product. Some examples are:
a symbol, different colour/font and/or italics can be used to distinguish the copyright
text.
quotation marks/inverted commas can be used around copyright text.
a small comment can be written after each piece of copyright text, e.g. after an extract
of copyright text include”(source Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 ® 2009
Edition)”.
