Web Sites And Open Content License Issues
phlako66 asks: "I am one of the creators of a large tutorial created for a university to teach undergraduates 'information literacy' skills. Recently we have received a lot of interest from other institutions about licensing our tutorial for use on their campuses. From its inception the creators have been determined to keep the content free to students from any institution. Current interest in the tutorial though has forced us to investigate further issues of copyright and intellectual property. We are considering making the content of the tutorial available under the Open Content Licence. I think that the Open Content License is perfect for an academic setting and can actually aid the further growth and proliferation of intellectual content. However, I'm not sure what the university is going to say about this, and was wondering if anyone had any similar experience with academic institutions and such licenses, or could foresee any potential problems with this type of licensing for large Web sites?"
