Narrated audio and voice
The course includes narrated lessons and listening activities produced using ElevenLabs Creator with the creator's own voice.

This educational-content license does not give permission to independently redistribute, republish, remix or sublicense the recordings, or to clone the creator's voice.

Free access and educational reuse
The title Curso Abierto de Español expresses this project's commitment to free access to learning. The NoDerivatives condition means that it does not grant the right to publicly share modified versions and therefore should not be described as an unrestricted, adaptation-permitting OER license. The author welcomes educational suggestions while retaining editorial control of the official edition.
