Mar 30, 2020 at 15:50 comment added LSpice @Goldstern, indeed, the most common stipulation I find in online notes is that using them constitutes agreement to report any mistakes to the author.
Nov 28, 2012 at 12:46 comment added Goldstern I agree that it is not necessary to ask permission. But I think the author might appreciate getting feedback: (a) He/She might be happy to her that the notes are used (b) He/She might even appreciate corrections if you or your students find any mistakes

Jan 5, 2012 at 18:54 comment added Tom Leinster Agreed, basically. I work on the assumption that if someone's posted lecture notes online, they want them to be used. If I was using them for a reading course taken by a single student, it wouldn't cross my mind to contact the author. The same probably goes if it was a group of half a dozen. For a class of 100, I guess I'd ask. Probably.
