Laboratory Wiki:NoPro Rule

The NoPro Rule is designed to eliminate any and all unauthorized posting of proprietary information on Laboratory Wiki without the express consent of the patent- or copyright-holder. This is in the interest of avoiding violation of federal laws, and is a foundational aspect of this wiki. Because this wiki is designed as a forum for discussion of experiences with laboratory techniques, this admonishment is defined as a strict rule in order to prevent posting of material whose public display may be regulated by the entity governing its use. This applies to all text, logos, symbols, and other visual and auditory representations.

This rule, unlike most policy, is set in stone. There cannot and will not be express violations of copyright on this wiki. It simply will not be tolerated. Consequently, any such material will be removed without notice. Any editors that repeatedly post copyrighted material without the express permission of the copyright-holder, after being fairly warned not to, will be banned from this wiki.
