● In Brazil various governmental initiatives to release educational materials as open resources are in place but often the types of license in use are not clear.

● OER readiness in Africa report: qualitative study conducted in Uganda, Kenya and South Africa. It concludes that there are issues regarding ownership and sharing. There is resistance to go open because of the economic benefits attached to copyrighted materials.
