opetuskäyttötarkoituksessa

opetuskäyttötarkoituksessa is a Finnish term that translates to "for educational use" or "for teaching purposes" in English. It is commonly used in legal and copyright contexts to define the permitted scope of using copyrighted material.

When a work, such as a book, image, or software, is licensed or distributed for opetuskäyttötarkoituksessa, it signifies that educators and students are granted specific rights to use the material within an educational setting. This typically includes the right to reproduce, display, and distribute copies of the work for non-commercial, instructional purposes. The scope of this permission can vary depending on the specific license agreement or legal framework governing the material.

For example, a teacher might be able to make copies of an article for their students, or a university might be able to use educational software for teaching without paying a commercial license fee. However, using the material for commercial gain, for example, selling copies to the public or using it in a non-educational context, would generally fall outside the scope of opetuskäyttötarkoituksessa and would require separate authorization.

The concept is designed to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge and learning by providing a framework for the legal and ethical use of creative works in educational environments. It aims to balance the rights of creators with the public interest in education.
