I'm new to this list. Among my projects are volunteering with One
Laptop Per Child; organizing Earth Treasury, a non-profit for linking
schools around the world and teaching the students how to go into
sustainable international business together; and Open Hardware
development.
I just found out that the CC-Developing Nations license has been
dropped. I was about to start talking to publishers about CC-DN
licenses for textbooks and educational content for the One Laptop Per
Child XO computer. This seems to me to be a clear case where we need a
license that isn't globally free.
There will be entirely free materials for children using XOs from a
number of sources, but it will take time to build them up. I think we
need a way to ease commercial publishers into the idea.
What do you think, Sirs?
