[Open-education] Hewlett Foundation expands open licensing policy to all project-based grantees

Fri Sep 19 16:32:48 UTC 2014

Greetings Open Friends:

In case you missed this important open policy update update.

The Hewlett Foundation has had an open licensing policy for its Open
Educational Resources grantees for years now, which means that grantees
that accept that money need to license content created under those grants
under a CC license (typically CC BY).

Now the foundation plans to extend this policy (CC BY 4.0) to its other
grant programs too - insofar as those programs fund project work.

Well done, Hewlett!
