This document discusses open licensing of educational resources. It describes various Creative Commons licenses and their permissions and restrictions. It notes issues with inconsistent licensing across platforms for some open courseware. It argues that a CC-BY license is preferable as it allows unlimited adaptations and is widely compatible, though requires attribution. It calls for establishing guidelines for open courseware consortiums on licensing and opening the debate on openness.
