Hi Rufus, Thanks for taking the time to look through it! =)
Answering your questions: 1. The project considers both a Question/Test Editor (composer) as well as the database of questions. 2. Up to this point I'm considering CC-BY-SA-NC for the site and editing tools that will become available on it. I have kept the NC because one of the main motivations of the Chilean Education Revolution of the past years is to move away from profiting in education, i.e. 'Education is not for sale' [1]. It might be a bit harsh and could discourage some people from using the contents, but I still think it's a better option for this project. Also I've noticed the OER Commons project also works with the NC license. Regarding the database of questions, I'm considering using the OpenDatabase license [2] as I understand it is more specific for databases, and it is now being used in OSM and is an OKFN project. I'm not sure what the NC equivalent is in that license yet... The licensing is still something I'm reviewing so I'm open to hear opinions and ideas regarding this.
