Wayne Mackintosh of WikiEducator announces, "Collaborating with OER projects which subscribe to licenses which meet the requirements of the free cultural works definition, WE aim to provide educators with greater freedom of choice to mix and match the best of two OER worlds, namely "producer-consumer" models with more traditional work flow approaches and commons-based peer production." All of which is fine, except that condition on licenses seems to suggest that commercial use will have to be permitted, a condition which I have argued in the past should not be imposed on learning content, as learning content is more free when people are not blocking access to it by requiring payment. Discussion follows the announcement.
