Burrowing Owls: WUaS has returned to CC 3.0 licensing from CC 4.0


Hi Universitians,

World University and School has returned to Creative Commons 3.0 licensing with updates to all of WUaS beginning here at the WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE ... from CC 4.0 (which includes a commercial clause), which WUaS had moved to a few weeks ago (since I'm the main editor of WUaS so far). WUaS is MIT OCW-centric and MIT OCW has also retained Creative Commons 3.0 licensing, without a commerce clause, and is WUaS's guide here ... until of course WUaS's generates independent content, which we might then license as CC 4 or in other possible ways ...

MIT OCW's video and audio courses are invaluable, and, although WUaS isn't endorsed by MIT OCW, the MIT OCW name itself, the amount of resources, the number of non-English language courses, and STEM-centricity are incredibly valuable as well ...

I've blogged about this, as well as PLAY vis-a-vis Stanford, here ...

See, too, MIT OCW here ...
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/ ... and here ...
http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm ...
both of which are licensed by ...
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/deed.en_US.

All the best,
Scott
