- Who holds the copyright on Rojo y Negro documents?
- The original author of the document. Many documents are created by Rojo y Negro and we consequently hold the copyright. Owners who allow their works to be published on the Rojo y Negro site retain the copyright, but agree to the Rojo y Negro license for the redistribution of those materials from our site.
- May I link to the Rojo y Negro site?
- Of course. Links are merely references to other sites. You don't have to ask permission to link to this site or any other website.
- However, you should never do anything (including making a link) that misrepresents what is being linked to, or implies a relationship with Rojo y Negro that does not exist. For instance, you may not use misleading frames, URL tricks, or redirections that misrepresent Rojo y Negro content as being published by anyone other than Rojo y Negro, its editors and contributors. Note, this requirement to be clear in your representations is your obligation, Rojo y Negro does not sign waivers about who may link to us.

- No Rojo y Negro documents, including, but not limited to text, marketing and advertising material, pedagogical material, graphic or other audio-visual, may be redistributed or republished without express written permission.

- Rojo y Negro documents may not be redistributed or republished without express written permission.
- I am a writer and would like to make a "fair use" excerpt from a specification for my analysis, what do I have to do?
- If you believe your usage falls within the exception of fair use (e.g., in the U.S. § 107 Title 17. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use) we ask that your citation or reference to the excerpted material include the document's title, editors/authors and publication date.
- May I use a screen shot of part of the Rojo y Negro Web site?
- Yes. Permission is not required as long as the screen shot is not used in any manner which implies Rojo y Negro sponsorship or endorsement of your product, service, or Internet site. You may wish to let us know that you are using a screen shot (by sending us notice - our email details are on our contact us page). We also request, but do not require, that you indicate the source of the screen shot by URI.

Rojo y Negro logo and branding imagery usage
Rojo y Negro logos and other branding imagery may not be used without requesting permission from Rojo y Negro.
- I'd like to use one of the Rojo y Negro logos, and I have permission to do so, but it doesn't match the design of my Web site. Can I change the logo?
- No. The Rojo y Negro Logo provides the organisation with its visual identity. As a result, there are strict rules for its use. Changing the Rojo y Negro logos is not permitted, as it defeats the purpose of the logo, which is to be noticed and identified as Rojo y Negro.
- If you specify the size you have available for the logo, the relevant resolution (whether for web, screen or print) and whether the background is black, white or coloured, a logo fit for the purpose can be supplied, but it must not be modified further.
- Can I use an image in a link to the Rojo y Negro Web site that is not derived from the Rojo y Negro logo?
- Yes, you may link to the Rojo y Negro site with images that are not derived from the Rojo y Negro logo.
