now on CIP's blog....)ollectaneaRunning in Circles:
    Copyright Licensing, and the Educational Environment
"Recall the famous scene at the end of the classic Clint Eastwood western,
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." Eastwood and the two villains are arranged
in a circle, each waiting for the others to draw their guns and start the
fight. Everyone wants the same thing (confederate gold), but no one trusts
either of the others. The unforgettable music plays and the camera closes in
on each pair of eyes, shifting back and forth, watching the others for
 any
movement. The build-up to the eventual gunfight seems to last forever.
In considering the diverse choice of topics of import we might discuss here,
it seemed natural to mentally review the readings and work projects that have
recently dominated my time. I noticed an interesting convergence of people,
online posts, work assignments, and even a bit of my personal life. These
individual components seemed to reinforce that we, the stakeholders in the
information, technology, and copyright ecosystem, have allowed 
ourselves to
be herded by copyright and technology-induced paranoia into a circular
stand-off characterized by some very core misunderstandings of the goals and
capabilities we each need from the same intellectual property. We've forgotten
what we used to know about each other, perhaps even lost some mutual trust and
respect. Of course, this is not universally true - there are a host of
examples of productive collaborations - but enough roadblocks remain to prompt
articulation of some basic 
realities that seem to have been forgotten in the
crush of information overload, a poor economy, and the need to avoid
extinction. The vehicle triggering this concern is the now-familiar license
accompanying technologically advanced delivery of intellectual property in the
university library environment."

http://cipcommunity.org/redirect.aspx?linkID=7077&eid=4336Description:This
workshop will focus on twin themes born out of the Internet's culture of
sharing and accessibility.
First, we will explore the ideas and practices of producers and developers who
create open source products with the goal of making the products' source
materials widely available. We will also discuss some of the issues associated
with copyright, licensing, and consumer use that have arisen within this
environment.
    Second, the workshop will look at the growing movement of open access
initiatives and the desire to make widely available online digital documents
that are free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
