The Csound book is copyrighted. You would need permission from MIT Press.

Some pieces and MP3s and such may also be copyrighted, and you might need permission from the composers or authors.

Csound itself, all its source code, all its documentation, all the pieces in the "exmaples" directory, all the tutorials, all are open source and you do not need any permission to use that stuff.

Hope this helps,
Mike
