Neither it is foolish nor it is uselss. You are missing the point completely. The content in question is not some artwork which can be mixed and matched by any person just like that. The content in question is educational material involving scientific facts and data. If someone mixes and matches the content and starts redistribution, who is going to verify (or ensure) the scientific accuracy of the facts and data. Just mixing and matching of educational/scientific content is dangerous. What if someone mixes it with personal propaganda or false facts and starts distributing it ? Secondly, the NC clause is important in a country like ours where cheap run of the mill institutes mushroom everyday. How do you plan to protect exploitation in case someone downloads the the content from net, burns a DVD and starts selling it at price of his choice. In this scenario, he is building his business on content created out of public money.I think the current license has clause to prevent this. As for obtaining the lectures. Have you ever bothered to contact IIT's to obtain the copy for the college with bad connectivity? Have IIT's refused ? From my experience, IIT's do everything possible to have a copy delivered to you. There are email id's mentioned on the site for Govt aided institutions, write to them. If you think that is lot of bureaucracy, contact any senior IIT professor to obtain a copy. regards Vivek -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
