Intellectual Property Licensing Fee Requirements for Consultants using RBA

This document sets out licensing and fee requirements for the use of RBA/OBA intellectual property. RBA/OBA intellectual property includes material authored by Mark Friedman, including the book Trying Hard Is Not Good Enough, the websites www.resultsaccountability.com and www.raguide.org, and numerous papers on the topics of management, budgeting, planning and accountability dating back to 1993.

Except as noted in the document, RBA/OBA intellectual property is free for use (with attribution) by government and nonprofit or voluntary sector organizations. There is a similar exemption for small for-profit consulting groups as outlined in the document. Larger for-profit organizations are required to pay an annual fee for use of RBA/OBA intellectual property based on the size of the organization.
