When did using things in school or district curriculum become "commercial
use"? And why is it that the people in AASL are claiming fair use covers our
use when it doesn't based on their permission statement? If AASL really
wanted them to be used, they would do what is being asked to ensure that
they survive. Very disappointing!

How do the members who volunteered their time to write the document feel
about how AASL is responding? Is anyone on LM_NET among those who worked on
the standards document?

I contacted Julie Walker, director of AASL,  and this is what she replied:

The standards are available for FREE download at www.ala.org/aasl/standards
There is no restriction on number of downloads or copies --- as long as they
are for educational use.  Utilizing them in educational workshops, student
lessons, whatever, is covered by fair use.  Integration into a school or
district curriculum requires permission.  I don't need to tell you that
commercial use is a "horse of a different color."
