for my CSE 1010 course I solved every single problem in my text book. Sense it's a electronic file I could easily publish it to the internet. My only concern is copyrights behind all of it. All work in the file is all my work, except for a few exceptions when I had to ask for help. I can chose to publish this file to the internet if I wish right with out breaking any laws? The actual wording of the problems is not included in the file just the solutions. I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do this, but I just wanted to make sure before I did.
I am not a lawyer, but I can provide some general information about copyrights that you can consider. Copyright laws vary by country, so it is important to consult the specific laws that apply to your situation. In general, the content of a textbook, including the questions and solutions, is protected by copyright law. This means that reproducing the content, such as publishing the solutions on the internet, may infringe on the rights of the copyright holder.
However, there are some exceptions and considerations you would need to keep in mind. If the textbook is under a Creative Commons license or is in the public domain, you may have more flexibility in sharing the solutions. Additionally, if you only publish your solutions and not the exact wording of the problems, it might be considered transformative enough to be considered fair use. Fair use is a legal doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder.
To ensure that you are not breaking any laws and to get accurate legal advice, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer specializing in copyright law who can assess your specific circumstances and guide you accordingly. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate information about copyright law in your jurisdiction and give you personalized advice on what actions you can take.
