…boring note on Copyrights

Sorry to talk about this dull detail but this is a sign of the times. This book is the intellectual and commercial property of KAPPA. It is available on our WEB site at no cost to registrants. You are welcome to download it and print it for your own use. If you are in the academic world, or even if you are a professional instructor, you are welcome to have it printed for your students. You are also permitted to take any part of it and integrate it into other media on the condition that the copyright of KAPPA is added and visible. This applies to the copies of the copies, etc.

You are NOT allowed (and KAPPA reserves the right to take legal action and will):

• To use this book, neither in totality nor any of its part, for the training of Large Language Models (LLM) such as, but not limited to ChatGPT
• To commercialize this book in whole or in part
• To use any part of this book in any media format without a clear reference and acknowledgement to KAPPA.

We have seen in the past that some of our diagrams and figures, available from our software, on-line help or the support material we deliver with our courses, have been used in other publications. KAPPA has no objection to this however we do ask, and expect, to be acknowledged. Since the foundation of the Company KAPPA has regularly and systematically and officially registered its software and supporting diagrams and figures. In addition the figures we insert in our published documents are bitmap exports of vector (Illustrator™) original documents that we also keep and register. So we can prove both the chronological and technical history of our supporting material.
