“A new public license — the Open Publication License —
promises to bring the power of the open-source software movement to
video, audio, and text while still preserving authors’ rights to
profit from the calluses of their creative hands.”
“It’s all about being able to access information for free,” said
David Wiley, founder of Opencontent.org, where the latest draft of
the license will be made available for public comment later this
week.”
“The Open Publication License, or OPL, allows creators in any
medium to release their work into the public domain for
reproduction and modification, while providing the means to
preserve their rights to the printed, commercial versions of their
work.”
