j. Encourage the open licensing of educational
materials produced with public funds.
Governments/competent authorities can create
substantial benefits for their citizens by ensuring
that educational materials developed with
public funds be made available under
open licenses (with any restrictions they deem
necessary) in order to maximize the impact
of the investment.
