The home page says it's open source which means it can be modified for non-commercial use. That is not correct. Open Source means it can be modified. There is on "Non-Commercial" restriction in Open Source. (Although some companies provided commercial support). The following is from the Open Source Definition: > 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor > > The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in > a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the > program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic > research. > > Rationale: The major intention of this clause is to prohibit license > traps that prevent open source from being used commercially. We want > commercial users to join our community, not feel excluded from it. > http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php Beebit sounds interesting, I think I shall have to look into what this "Metadata services API" when I find some free time. Also is there any docs on the Learning Resource Finder? > This e-mail is: [x] private; [] ask first; [] bloggable :( Does this mean I (or anyone else for that matter) can't forward this email to other malling lists (such as Schoolforge UK)?
