Re: Acceptable Use

[Bob Kalal <kalal.1 () OSU EDU>]

Our responsible use policy claims that it applies to everyone whether
affiliated or not, whether on campus or not, and whether they agree
or not.

"This policy applies to all users of university computing resources,
whether affiliated with the university or not, and to all uses of
those resources, whether on campus or from remote locations. "

We've never had to test it in court, but our legal folks think it
would stand. But actual enforcement could be problematical.
