Policy on use of the Alaska Flag Song

The copyright to the Alaska Flag Song is held by the University of Alaska Foundation. The University of Alaska Foundation is responsible to ensure that the song is used in a manner befitting its status as the state song of the State of Alaska, and to protect the song from illegal use and copyright infringement and to obtain sufficient remuneration of use of the song as befits any other investment asset of the Foundation.

Licenses for use of the Alaska Flag Song will be issued under the following guidelines:

  • Licenses will be non-exclusive and will be of the shortest duration possible to accommodate the intended use - but in no case longer than one year.
  • Licenses may be issued for reasonable commercial uses.
  • Licenses will be issued for public performances, recordings, and the creation of new renditions for such purposes subject to these guidelines.
  • Licenses will not be issued for public performances, recordings or new renditions which are:
    • Satires, caricatures or humorous applications
