Is creating an iPhone tutoring app based off of a textbook considered plagiarism?
I had been thinking about creating an iPhone app that would be based off of my beginning accounting class by summarizing/ paraphrasing the chapters in the textbook into easily understandable 'lessons' that cover those chapters.
my accounting textbook happens to actually be a compilation of chapters from many different books from various authors. If I'm determined to make this iPhone tutoring app, what would be the necessary steps to take in order to avoid being sued?
