Permissions Policy

With the exception of “guest posts” written by others (see the bottom of this page), the site manager owns all content published on The Military Leader. It is copyrighted in his name. The intent, however, is to strike the appropriate balance between widely distributing the content while at the same time protecting intellectual property rights. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Without My Permission

You are free to do the following without my permission:

  • Link to my site or any specific post on my site.
  • Extract and re-post less than 300 words on any other site, provided you link back to my original post.
  • Print off my posts and photocopy up to 50 copies for internal distribution within your own company or organization.
  • Print my posts in any non-commercial publication (e.g., company newsletter, church newsletter, class syllabus, etc.), provided you include this copyright notice: “© 2014, The Military Leader. All rights reserved. Originally published at www.themilitaryleader.com.”

Not Without My Permission

You must have my express written consent to do any of the following:

Re-posting and Translation Rights

I do not permit the re-posting of my posts in their entirety. In addition, I don’t allow the translation and publication of my work in other languages. I simply don’t have the resources to validate the quality of the work.

Guest Posts

Guest bloggers retain the copyright to the posts they write. The above permission guidelines do not apply to their work. If you are interested in re-posting or publishing their content, you must contact them directly. I cannot serve as a broker, agent, or contact point.
