Below you will find a copy of the CSUnet Acceptable Use Policy. Please read this, and let's discuss some aspects of this document in class soon. -- john --------------------------- cut here --------------------------- CSUnet Acceptable Use Policy ============================ A. CSUnet member organizations shall comply with the rules for use of the NSFNET/Internet/Interim-NREN backbone as promulgated from time-to-time by the National Science Foundation and/or their agents and Network Management Organization (Merit). B. CSUnet's purposes are to facilitate communications in support of scientific research and higher education using high-performance computer networking technology and wide-area telecommunications utilities, and to promote scientific and educational collaboration, sharing of research and educational information, and wide access to computer resources for the advancement of research and educational purposes. All use of CSUnet must be consistent with the purposes of CSUnet. If a use is consistent with the purposes of CSUnet, then activities necessary to that use will be considered consistent with the purposes of CSUnet. For example, administrative communications which are part of the support infrastructure needed for research and instruction are acceptable. A use for scientific research or instruction by members is acceptable. A use which is part of or supports a scientific or instructional activity for the benefit of a not-for-profit member's research or instruction is acceptable, even if any or all parties to the use are located or employed away from the site at which the member's connected facilities are located. For example, communication directly between for-profit members engaged in support of a project for such a member, whether a CSUnet not-for-profit member or not-for-profit institution elsewhere is acceptable. A use for scientific research or instruction by for-profit members may or may not be consistent with the purposes of CSUnet, and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the voting members. C. Any use which adversely affects the operation of CSUnet or jeopardizes THE USE OR performance for other members may be judged improper by the CSUnet Manager. D. Product advertising and mass mailings of commercial matter, employee recruiting and commercial transactions including but not limited to order processing and billing by for-profit members are prohibited. Any commercial transactions within or between for-profit members are prohibited. E. All use shall comply with CSUnet Network Task Force rules governing routing and use of network numbers. F. CSUnet invokes the protection afforded by the laws of the State of California for any and all unlawful access(es) or injury to any computer, computer system, computer network, computer program, or data to which CSUnet provides access and/or services. Pursuant to State of California law, any unauthorized access, attempted access, or use of any State computing and/or network system is a violation of Section 502 of the California Penal Code and/or other applicable Federal Laws, and is subject to prosecution. Students of any community college, state university, or academic institution accredited in this state (other than the University of California) may be subject to disciplinary sanctions up to and including dismissal from the academic institution. G. This network connection is for the use of authorized users only. Individuals using the network without authority, or in excess of their authority, are subject to having their network activities monitored and recorded by CSUnet personnel. In the course of monitoring individuals improperly using the network, or in the course of network maintenance, the activities of authorized users may also be monitored. Anyone using the network expressly consents to such monitoring and is advised that if such monitoring reveals possible evidence of criminal activity, CSUnet personnel may provide the evidence of such monitoring to law enforcement officials.
