Abstract

Publishing and Alternative Licensing Model of Africa (PALM Africa) studies flexible licensing as a means to increase access to online learning materials in a sustainable manner. This presentation is a primer about digital technology and online publishing. Some benefits of flexible licensing models are outlined: content can be used more broadly than usually permitted under default copyright law; rights-holders control copyright; new business models are enabled along with new market opportunities.
