Para1All items published on the site of the Queen’s Men Editions, whether text, image, sound or video files, are the intellectual property of the creator(s). The XML encoding is the intellectual property of the LEMDO project, held on LEMDOʼs behalf by the University of Victoria.

Para2Most files are licensed under a CC BY-NC_ND 4.0 license, which means that they may be freely downloadable without permission under the following conditions: (1) credit must be given to the author(s), Queen’s Men Editions, and LEMDO in any subsequent use of the files and/or data; (2) the content cannot be adapted or repurposed for publication (except in quotations for the purposes of academic review and citation); and (3) commercial uses are not permitted without the knowledge and consent of Queen’s Men Editions, the editor(s) or author(s), and LEMDO. This license allows for pedagogical use of the old-spelling texts, modern texts, critical paratexts, annotations, collations, and supplementary materials in the classroom. It also allows theatre practitioners to create scripts from and mount performances of the texts; cuts, transpositions, and word substitutions are allowed if the production requires such adaptations, but publication of the adapted script must be cleared with the copyright holders of the text. In every case, you must give credit to Queen’s Men Editions, the editor(s) or author(s), and LEMDO.

Para3Production photographs and videos on this site may not be downloaded. They appear freely on this site with the permission of the actors and the ACTRA union. They may be used within the context of university courses, within the classroom, and for reference within research contexts, including conferences, when credit is given to the producing company and to the actors. Commercial use of videos and photographs is forbidden.

Para4Many images are generously made available by libraries, museums, and galleries around the world. In each case, copyright is held by the institution that owns the image; the owner is clearly indicated on the same page as the image, as is a link to their web site. All uses of these images for other than educational, non-profit purposes must be negotiated with the owner of the copyright.

Para5Texts of the plays and poems are copyright the editor; in cases where the works have not yet been edited, copyright rests with the Queen’s Men Editions. Other written materials, such as critical articles, are copyright the authors.

Para6If there is no specific copyright notice, the materials are copyright of the Queen’s Men Editions (the organization). Queries concerning the use of materials where copyright resides in the Queen’s Men Editions (the anthology) should be directed to Dr. Helen Ostovich.
