Dear Tom,

Many thanks for your email! I've forwarded details to our discussion list.

It looks like a really useful service. I've just signed up for an
account and I shall certainly consider using it for disseminating my
own academic work!

I wonder how the source code for the service is licensed? Have you
considered putting this under a Free/Open Source license? In this
respect you might be interested in our Open Service Definition:

Warm regards,

Dear Jonathan,
I came across your email via the OKFN web-site.
Having looked at what the OKFN does, I thought you might be interested
in a project I have been working called called Scholas
(http://schol.as).
The main aim of the service is to enable academics to upload and share
files quickly and easily using short URL's. The user also has the
option to license any work they share under a creative commons
license (for more information about features please see
http://schol.as/about-scholas/).
Kind Regards,
Tom Morris
