Restrictive Licence Template

The Restrictive Licence Template (RLT) was developed as a part of the AusGOAL (Australian Government Open Access Licensing framework) for material that may contain personal or other confidential information. It may be used for other reasons, including material to be licensed under some form of limiting or restrictive condition (e.g. permission or ethics required, a time limit on use, or contractual arrangements).

A completed licence agreement and terms should accompany any materials licensed under the Restrictive Licence Template, or may be provided on request by the nominated contact person or author.
