You might start with and review the copyright section
of the SCA Chroniclers handbook at

Download the .pdf and read the copyright section. Copyright does apply
to the SCA.
Xeroxing and supplying pages would be the equivalent, no doubt,
of creating a course pack for students.
A shop in Ann Arbor just lost their lawsuit with regard to creating
course packs.
