Thanks Greg! It doesn't specifically say anywhere on there something like "I give umich permission to publish the material with the cc-by license." Is this implied by the statement that umich "owns" copies of the material? Or that umich has permission to publish as oer? I guess it'd make sense if it were the latter, but it seems odd to me that this would be enforceable without citing a specific definition of OER that includes open licensing. But IANAL.
I'll try to generalize this and then run it by a lawyer and throw it up on the wiki page with the recipe. Then it's showtime! http://madebyparker.com sent from my mobile On Dec 3, 2010 10:38 AM, "Greg Grossmeier" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey all, > > So, I'm not a lawyer either, but I (and the team at Open.Michigan) worked > with the lawyers at the GC's office at U of Michigan to create the > attached release form for just this situation. > > What this form also gets you is permission to use the accompanying > materials in the presentation.
