In our report OER: The value of reuse in education," writes Marion Manton, "we focused our attention on the reuse of online resources whether licensed or not .

The report makes the very good point that "The majority of reuse takes place in contexts that are not publicly visible," and in these cases, licensing is a lot less important.
