[Oer-community] On-line education is using a flawed Creative Commons license

[Seth Woodworth]

When a private negotiation happens to work around a -NC license, we are no
longer talking about content being remotely open.  That is a standard
copyright licensing agreement where the resulting product is not CC
licensed.

I am a software developer and work in OER.  If I had to request commercial
permission to use software in the course of my job, I would be slowed to a
standstill running down permissions.
