Copyright - two facts I have learned from the challenge

Firstly, I didn't know that free licenses existed until starting the challenge. I had always presumed that you had to apply and pay for them.

Secondly, I was surprised to find out that you could modify the parameters of your documents to be copyrighted. For example, you can share photos with friends or family yet make them unavailable for commercial purposes. This could be particularly useful for lesson plans, using the 'human readable' option instead of machine readable.

  1. That is a good idea with lesson plans. I have gotten so many ideas from the web, other people, etc that I have used to piece together my own lessons that I am timid about sharing them. Because I don't remember where I "borrowed" that idea from! But if you could limit who you were allowing to "see" them, maybe I would be more apt to "share."
