I suggest all contributions (and links from Wikieductor) be to content that
is licensed CC By, or CC By SA or equivalent. Sadly, "Public Domain" which
is the least restrictive license used in the United States is not a license
that is used in many other countries (unless of course the USA wins its
trade driven imperialism)... Nothing with restrictions beyond CC By or CC By
SA should be loaded to Wikieducator.

As for your paper Nadia, if you signed a release of your copyrights to those
publishers, then you cannot load to Wikied. If you did not sign a release,
then you still own the rights to your paper and can do with it what you
like. You can even serve the publishers a Cease and Desist letter, asking
them to make it open access and freely available or face legal action from
you.. that is until YOU release it under CC By or CC By SA at which point
they can sell and restrict access to their copy so long as they attribute
you as the original author.

Leigh
