Hi Kathy, Apology for the delay in response - I've been travelling and had a few issues with my notebook playing up while away - and have not been able to connect.
I've taken a peek at the link you provided and it would be great if we could launch a project on WikiEducator adding value to these materials. Fortunately, it is possible for the original copyright holders of these resources to release the materials under a different license. The issue is not so much a question of version 2.0 versus version 3.0 of the CC license - but rather the problems associated with the NC restriction. The NC restriction is problematic and WikiEducator's committment to the free cultural works definition means that we cannot use materials that use the NC restriction. The share-alike provision, in our view, is a more effective mechanism to avoid the risks of commercial exploitation of free content resources. You might want to read the following essay on why not to use the NC restriction: http://freedomdefined.org/Licenses/NC Also, WikiEducator's tutorial on free content is also worth a read: http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_tutorial/What_is_free_content Kathy - I would be more than happy to arrange a teleconference with you and the project leaders to discuss alternatives for re-licensing these resources for use on WikiEducator. Let me know if you're interested in pursuing this further. Cheers Wayne On Nov 6, 2:13 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Does everything posted on the wikieducator site have to be CC 3.0?
