Thanks Fred, Terry, Phil. That's given me some food for thought (case studies, exemptions, laws, anomalous cases, published policies on OER like Leed’s). I will maybe also check with Education Scotland (they have OER terms for GLOW), Re:source/College Development Network, and JISC for their co-design model of innovation, and see if they have any policy guidance (on the larger issues of intellectual property like know-how and inventions as well as copyright).

 

I would note that the Scottish (regional) Colleges have recently moved more formally into the public sector, so I would expect more of a public sector ethos in their employment and intellectual property policies.
