FreeCulture and Open Universities
From the FreeCulture movement has emerged the Open University Campaign based on the new Wheeler Declaration:
An open university is one in which
1. The research the university produces is open access.
2. The course materials are open educational resources.
3. The university embraces free software and open standards.
4. If the university holds patents, it readily licenses them for free software, essential medicines, and the public good.
5. The university network reflects the open nature of the internet.where “university” includes all parts of the community: students, faculty, administration.
As we used to say: Right on.
