I am confuesd...what is fair use policy in this ?Can author claim my software future ? please help me.
Under the doctrine of fair use, there is an exception to use copyright for non-profit educational purposes.
However, it also depends upon the quantum of copyrighted material used.
Preferably, give them credit and get a permit to use the copyrighted material.
