Hi, all In addition to concerns about the copyright policy on the UNV site, I am also concerned about their privacy policy, especially this statement:
"UNV may disclose such information, ..., if requested to do so by UNV’s internal governing and oversight bodies, including Member States,..."

Technically we can't do this as it is a against the core values of the WikiEducator family. I can of course approach the UNV administrators on behalf of the OER Foundation / WikiEducator for an exception in the case of a WikiEducator produced appication to license the information we create under our default open content licenses. Should be an interesting test case :-). Thoughts?
