Frank statement of why educators need to share learning resources.

Waiting (or not doing anything) will result in a market where profit is the greatest focus of education, not learning." That doesn't mean that there should be no commercial content whatsoever. But what is important is to create an environment where the commercial product shares the stage with open and freely shared materials.
