2. The things (research publications, datasets,
workshops, guides, software, educational
resources) that we create are relevant to
people beyond our own organizations and
institutions.
Open licenses are simply way to reach a
wider audience beyond the immediate uses,
to build your reputation, and to give your
work new life in further dialogue and
transformations that build upon your work.

13. Is your intent to control or to influence?
13
"If you need to retain full
control over your content in the
hopes of getting paid, [All
Rights Reserved] that’s OK. But
don’t pin this to false hope. You’re
not going to get paid unless
you’ve built up sufficient authority.
The more you restrict your
content, the more you reduce
your chances of building
authority.”

Slide 17
Creative Commons licenses are legal contracts, and have been upheld in court: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Case_Law. Creative Commons licenses are called public, non-excludable licenses. This means that apply to the general public – anywhere in the world – and that they may exist in parallel with other terms of use for the same work. For example, we have some works in the Open.Michigan collection
There are four possible conditions that you may choose, which you can mix and match to create 6 different licenses.
One feature common to all of them is attribution – or the moral right to be named as an author of the work. The attribution clause is referred to as BY and represented by the person icon.
Slide 18
Noncommercial, at its most common interpretation, means that you cannot set it a profit. There is a broader range of interpretations, at it strictest that no money can change hands, and at another end allowing charging to recuperate costs.
Slide 19
Share Alike is what is called a viral clause. It means that any adaptation, so any translation into another language, any remix into another medium or format, or anything that directly builds upon and is integrated with the work has to adopt the same license as the original.
Slide 20 -
No-derivates give people permission to copy or distribute the work, but only if they do not alter it in anyway. This means no excerpts, no edits, and no adaptations.
Of these four licenses, the CC BY or Attribution is the most flexible. It’s the one that we use as our default at Open.Michigan. It’s also the one that Creative Commons former group ccLearn used to recommend as the default for OER. The handout from CC learn is available in the Open.Michigan infokit under infosheets
http://open.umich.edu/education/open-michigan/infosheets/materials.

There’s collection of 12 clinical microbiology videos from a UMMS faculty member has over 500,000 views on YouTube, has been copied to multiple websites, shared with over 550 people on DVD for offline access by collaborators in African institutions, and have captions that have been translated into French, Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Swahili. Those uses and adaptions were made possible by open licenses.
Slide 35
Just like you do not need to register in order for something to be copyrighted, you do not need to register in order to openly license something. All you need to do is include the license name and link, the year, the author, and the copyright owner.
This license information should be included on the file itself so that when people download it, they still know the author and terms of use.
You may notice on this slide, that I am listed as the author but the copyright owner is the institution. At my institution, the default is the institution holds the rights to the works created by its employees. Some exceptions include faculty works, librarian work, student work created for academic courses, which are owned by the individual authors.
Slide 42
Remember, all rights reserved is the default. You allowed certain exceptions to use copyrighted content in the closed audience of a traditional classroom. When you share publicly or with a wide audience such as MOOC< you need permission.
Use open licenses to use, exchange, remix educational materials legally and globally.
The things that you create have relevance outside of your own institution and original audience. BY Incorporate openly licensed or public domain content into your work, you can amplify the visibility and impact of your work – while keeping copyright and attribution
