Topic: Open Content License

	Open content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Open content, coined by analogy with "open source," (though technically it is actually share-alike) describes any kind of creative work including articles, pictures, audio, and video that is published in a format that explicitly allows the copying of the information.
		The words "open content" were first put together in this context by David Wiley, then a graduate student at Brigham Young University, who founded the OpenContent project and put together the first content-specific (non-software) license in 1998 with input from Eric Raymond, Tim O'Reilly, and others.
		The main difference between licenses is the definition of freedom; some licenses attempt to maximize the freedom of all potential recipients in the future while others maximize the freedom of the initial recipient.

		Open content, coined by analogy to open source, describes any kind of creative work (for example, articles, pictures, audio, video, etc.) that is published under a non-restrictive copyright license and format that explicitly allows the copying of the information.
		It is an initiative by practitioners interested in open content and education which explores the potential, impact and pitfalls of applying the open content paradigm to education in school, vocational training and university settings.
		This website is meant to provide a general introduction to the open content paradigm, and to present some of the challenges it encounters in real-life settings, all by focusing on education.

	bridges.org - our perspective on Open Content (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Open Content allows authors to share their work and enrich their community and society with the product of their labor, while still retaining some control over how it is used.
		Open Content, like Open Source software, allows a work to be much more widely distributed and utilized than if it were sold in a traditional manner.
		Open Content means that individuals and our peers in the development field, who might not otherwise afford it, can benefit from our research and writing.

		The current state of the license is version 1.2, the official text of which can be found at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html.
		While the Document itself is wholly editable, and is essentially covered by a license equivalent to (but both-ways incompatible with) the GNU General Public License, some of the secondary sections have various restrictions designed primarily to deal with proper attribution to previous authors.
		Specifically, the authors of prior versions have to be acknowledged and certain "invariant sections" specified by the original author and dealing with his or her relationship to the subject matter may not be changed.

	Licenses I - Open Content Explained
		Such open content notices do not carry enforcible legal meaning, so it is advisable to use a full open content license when one wants to request proper attribution or stipulate a share-alike restriction.
		The GNU General Public License (GPL) is perhaps the best known open source license; it is released by the Free Software Foundation and was used extensively in the creation of Linux.
		The Free Software Foundation states that non-software content may be released under the GPL [6] ; such content would be considered open content and copylefted.

		The GNU Public License has represented one extreme of this, as it guarantees that not only must the source covered by this license be public, but all derivative works must be covered by this license and also be public.
		Licenses such as the GNU Public License are not always applicable to such material, and a number of different licenses have been proposed to deal with these in an ``open'' manner.
		The Open Publication License [5] was derived from the Open Content License after a sufficient number of authors began publishing works under this license, and the more traditional book publishers (such as O'Reilly!) found problems with this license.

	Various Licenses and Comments about Them - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		The primary incompatibility is that this Python license is governed by the laws of the "State of Virginia", in the USA, and the GPL does not permit this.
		Likewise, if you use this license without either of the options to make your manual free, someone else might decide to imitate you, then change his or her mind about the options thinking that that is just a detail; the result would be that his or her manual is non-free.
		Please note that this license is not the same as the Open Content License.

	Licenses II - Open Content Explained
		Licenses II The Open Content License (confusingly shortened to OPL), covers any copyrightable material that is digitally available.
		Derivations may be redistributed, but the nature of the changes must be stated: “You must cause the modified content to carry prominent notices stating that you changed it, the exact nature and content of the changes, and the date of any change.
		The Open Publication License was created in response to the Open Content License, when traditional book publishers found problems with the license.

		While content [1] may not be the most important aspect of a course, it is difficult to imagine an undergraduate university course that does not make use of content in some form.
		The idea of open content has its background in the open source software movement, and can be considered a license agreement, a philosophy, a way of doing things, as well as the content produced and distributed according to the open content license agreement.
		Open content projects should "hit the ground running" under the leadership of a known and respected champion who understands the importance of communication to the open content process.

		Items other than copying, distributing, and modifying the Content with which this license was distributed (such as using, etc.) are outside the scope of this license.
		But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the OC, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

		The contents of HammondWiki is released under the Open Content License (OPL).

		The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
		This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
		Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

	[SCR] Open Content License (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I've been considering that since this a group project, the entire contents of Shadowrun Creative Resources should be put under some sort of "open" license.
		I've been looking at the Open Content license at http://www.opencontent.org, and it seems to fit the needs of this project well.
		But the contents of SCR need to be placed under some sort of global license (Even if I write it myself, or someone with more law knowledge than I does so) because it is very likely that in the future: * Some of us will no longer have net access.

	Open content and value creation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I define open content as content possible for others to improve and redistribute and/or content that is produced without any consideration of immediate financial reward — often collectively within a virtual community.
		The open content license simply codifies the definition, that a specific form or quantity of content is available for use, distribution and improvement, for free.
		Participating in a open source project could, for example, help you with a future career (economic motivation on the micro level) or you could be very convinced that the software should be free for everyone to use (socio-political motivation on the macro level).
