[Oer-community] In fields like OER -- Shouldn't we eat our own dog food?

Hi Jennie,

Again your assumption is incorrect.

The OER Foundation does NOT charge for educators to access, reuse, adapt or
modify OER.  In fact we provide free training for thousands of educators
around the world on how to do this.

A few examples of projects you have cited as free also rely on donations and
membership contributions to sustain their operations. You have incorrectly
singled out a charitable organisation and wrongly accused the Foundation for
charging for OERs they organisation doesn't own.

Cheers
Wayne
