I have a question. I found MIT OpenCourseWare, the site providing a course materials from MIT's faculty. (I found that site from the list at [1] (http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue8_1/schweik/index.html)). I read the term of use [2] (http://ocw.mit.edu/global/terms-of-use.html) and it looks like the materials in there can be adapted to here, wikipedia. What do you think? -- Taku 22:54 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)
- My answer is a bit late, but I think that we are not free to use OpenCourseWare materials. I have read their license and it seems to restrict uses to non-commercial purposes. This is an "additional restriction" that is conflict with the GFDL. DanKeshet 19:26 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)
I am sorry I didn't notice your comment until now. Anyhow, thanks a lot. -- Taku 16:02 Jan 27, 2003 (UTC)
- However, I see no harm in placing extensive links to their materials in Wikipedia since they're definitely doing something we should approve of. I'll aim to place links to their courses at closely related articles. --bodnotbod 18:55, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
