Thanks Adam, It is a medical field so protection of rare case data is the stated problem, some presenters worry that slides are copied then reused without attribution. I strongly feel a blanket ban is an inappropriate response and would prefer to see guidance that presentations are given under an appropriate licence. Enforcement is a different matter, that I don't think has been considered. I suspect a blanket ban would be impossible to enforce anyway which is why I suspect licencing is a better approach.
