If you attended past SANS courses are you allowed to sell or trade the books them?

I have not been able to find anything that states that you can't sell or trade them on the SANS site.

Why would one want to do this well maybe I passed the cert attempt and the information contained in the books I will not re-use as I have a lot of additional resources where I can obtain the information and when the time comes for the recertification time I get a new set of books that I pay for.

I been wondering if this is allowed as I would like to trade for other course books or sell. I have paid out of pocket for 4 training and I am wanting to attend or challenge the GPEN and GREM certification and being that I have to pay out of pocket to do this (On Demand course) I can only think of selling the books to pay for the class or trading some of my past SANS course books for the GPEN and/or GREM books.

There was a discussion regarding this on the GIAC mailing list. I'll have a look through it again and see what all was said.

Thanks Bill I look forward hearing from you. If the answer to my questions is yes then my second question is can I post in this forum a request to exchange course book material?

Looks like you're out of luck... on the back of the first page of courseware you should find a Copyright notice and a 'Courseware License Agreement' (CLA) that specifically states:
