Michael Feldstein is sponsored by David Wiley's Lumen Learning and then we see a perfectly predictable appeal to eschew non-commercial licensing. I would hesitate to draw a line between the two, but I've never seen Feldstein concerned about licensing one way or another (he seems fine with it here), while the anti-NC campaign has long been a Wiley signature. Feldstein writes, "we should reduce the friction of sharing as much as possible. One source of friction is licensing." Well, that's true. But the main source of friction is charging people money for content. That's what non-commercial licensing prevents. And if your big worry during this crisis is that you can't sell openly licensed resources, then you are worrying about exactly the wrong thing.
