    <title>topic copyrights on basemaps in ArcGIS Enterprise Portal Questions</title>
    <link>https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/copyrights-on-basemaps/m-p/7545#M122</link>
    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Hi all,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I'm new in the business of creating maps for government reports. Can I use the basemap images available through the ESRI ArcGIS Server for backdrops in maps for government maps? They are copyrighted by different entities like National Geographic and ESRI. I did read that if the map is involved in for-profit activity (like contract work) then it's okay. There should be no profits garnered from these reports. I just want to make absolutely sure it's okay to use them.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Thanks,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;wuen0609&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
