    If I'm not mistaken, anything the government develops is public domain - but that's been obscured a lot by the government contracting outsiders to do things.

    I think that is what Curriki is doing. http://www.curriki.org/ Except that the courses don't have to be on DVD. They are also concentrating on K-12 at this time. You still might want to take a look. They are specifically trying to replace text books with open source multimedia lessons. Please consider becoming a contributing member.

    Another interesting project, albeit with a very low profile so far and just getting started, is Sun's curriki.org. AFAICT it's intended to be a more corporate version of wikibooks (which has been a dismal failure, BTW) -- a wiki for making free textbooks. They prefer to use a the BSD-style CC-BY license, they're focusing on K-12, and it looks like they're not going to let people edit unless they're approved by Sun. (Being at least 18 is a hard requirement.) I guess my expectations for curriki.org are low, based on my own opinion about why wikibooks never got off the ground: basically, a wiki just isn't a good way to write a textbook.
