All this success has bred a few problems. For starters: profiteering. I show
Margulies an email from Thailand. "A group of us here are considering
opening a University devoted solely to 'e-learning courses from MIT!'"
writes the sender, who says he hopes to offer "Bachelor of Science degrees
in MIT Studies."

"He can't do that!" she shrieks.

Soon, the budding entrepreneur is sent a stern reply stating the guidelines:
People are free to use, modify, translate, and distribute OpenCourseWare as
long as they don't try to make a buck from it.
