Dear All
Please find below, clarification on the JORUM licensing model regarding the
sharing of learning and teaching resources.
Clarification is required as a result of a circulation made on 16 May 2005 at
11:18. The specific comment is given below in quotes and the clarification
follows that.
"A good place to start when thinking of models for sharing resources is Creative
Commons. This provides a framework for submission and is being consider as the
basis of shared content repositories by the JISC, like the JORUM."
Kind Regards
Steve Rogers

JORUM Licensing Model - Correction
JORUM is a free JISC-funded repository service for UK Further and Higher
Education Institutions, hosting learning and teaching materials and
encouraging their sharing, reuse and repurposing. JORUM opens for
contributions of materials from 1 June 2005 and for general use from 31
August 2005. We are unable to use Creative Commons licences, because for
the foreseeable future we shall be accepting institution-owned materials, or
materials licensed to institutions, rather than individually-owned content.
Creative Commons is for individually-owned content in the public domain.
Institutions contributing content to JORUM will sign a JORUM Deposit
Licence, while institutions signing up for the JORUM User service will sign
a JORUM Repository Licence. Individuals agree to terms and conditions
(either as contributors or users) on access, while content in the system is
tagged with metadata descriptions to ensure that institutional and third
party Intellectual Property (IP) rights are expressed.
The JORUM project website is at http://www.jorum.ac.uk. This URL will
become the service website from 1 June 2005. The JORUM licences will be
available via the service website. If you have any queries in the meantime,
