I agree with the gist of the brief filed by Creative Commons which says a school should be able to hire a contractor to reproduce copies of an openly licensed non-commercial work. "Were Great Minds' theory to prevail, it would require every re-user to own the means for reproducing NC-licensed works and avoid using any for-profit actor in doing so, a result that our licenses never intended."
