| | Open content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | Much of the ideals of the open source movement was led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). | | | The list of open content projects are partly based on The Institutional Design of Open Source Programming on Firstmonday |

| | Open Content Licenses |
| | The GNU General Public License (GPL) comes from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), which is responsible for a huge range of software tools such as emacs, gcc, Unix utilities, compiler-compilers, and so on. | | | The Open Source movement has crystallised a number of ideas about the public availability of source code that have been practised both formally and informally for a number of years [1]. | | | There seems to be little attempt as yet to apply Open Content principles to these, although some areas of this (in particular, computer patents) would seem to be worthy of attention. |

| | bridges.org - our perspective on Open Content |
| | 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. | | | A recent announcement by MIT puts Open Content in perspective - "MIT to make nearly all course materials available free on the World Wide Web". | | | Bridges.org believes strongly in creating free resources for general public use, and we believe that by making our reports and resources Open Content, we can better achieve our not-for-profit mission of bridging the "digital divide". |

| | Collaborative development of open content |
| | In conceptualizing this model, the most important lessons from open source software development were extracted from the literature, as well as personal experience in open source software development (see Table 1). | | | Another way to look at the open content approach, would be to follow the flow of events in a hypothetical project (Figure 2). | | | This paper examines lessons learned from open source software development and uses these lessons to build the foundations of a process model for the collaborative development of open content. |

| | Open content and value creation |
| | 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). | | | In the open content cases considered in this paper, value chains are not easily described by a single scenario path. | | | The open content phenomenon can to some extent be compared to the phenomenon of open source. |

| | As there is no concept of “source code” and “executable file” for written text, the GFDL defines a parallel concept: transparent and opaque documents. | | | 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. |

This is NOT a final idea and I am not hell bent on doing it. | | | 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. |
