== Purpose ==<br />
This principle clarifies that making a record visible does not remove responsibilities attached to its interpretation or application.<br />
<br />
== Principle ==<br />
'''Public availability does not equal unrestricted use.'''<br />
<br />
== Meaning ==<br />
A document, recording, or image may be open to view while still carrying limits on how it may be copied, interpreted, or relied upon.<br />
Visibility does not dissolve relationship, standing, or obligation.<br />
<br />
Access is not permission.<br />
<br />
== Why This Matters ==<br />
* Prevents misuse simply because something can be seen.<br />
* Protects knowledge from being detached from lawful holders.<br />
* Maintains respect for context and purpose.<br />
* Reduces risk of external appropriation.<br />
<br />
== Common Confusions ==<br />
* Assuming online material is free for any purpose.<br />
* Believing that publication removes restrictions.<br />
* Treating access as authority.<br />
* Mistaking transparency for transfer of control.<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
* A publicly posted teaching may still require proper guidance.<br />
* A visible historical document may not authorize modern action.<br />
* Shared material may not permit commercial or political use.<br />
* Availability for reading does not equal right to reinterpret.<br />
<br />
== Lawful Use Still Requires ==<br />
* Attention to context.<br />
* Recognition of standing.<br />
* Respect for scope and limits.<br />
* Consultation where appropriate.<br />
<br />
== Risks if Ignored ==<br />
* Harm to relationships.<br />
* Misrepresentation.<br />
* Loss of trust.<br />
* Increased conflict over ownership and meaning.<br />
<br />
== Safeguards ==<br />
* Include clear statements of expected use.<br />
* Provide contact paths for permission or clarification.<br />
* Teach users difference between access and authority.<br />
* Monitor patterns of misuse.<br />
