Dear Dr. Wayne and Patricia, Initially I also thought in the same lines, however on second thought I felt that we may require policies to keep CC-BY or CC-BY-SA originals and derivatives. Definitely it is not to limit the freedom, but purely on research interest. Similarly, as we go on with OERu system, there would be chances that some institutions in the network might request to add their CC-BY of CC-BY-SA materials on WE with a provision to keep the originals while giving all freedom for making derivative works- may be due to resource constraint to maintain their own setup for hosting such materials etc etc
Moreover I think, once edited we may not be able to use descriptions like A joint COL-UNESCO OER Publication etc as we see in the header template. Hope my thoughts are not going wild :) On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 8:39 AM, Patricia Schlicht <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Anil, > > Thanks for your comments.
