Open Knowledge Forum on Open Content February 22, 2006

This forum will focus on 'open content', that is works such as books, music, and films which are provided under terms that allow for free access, redistribution and re-use. Questions to address include:

• What exactly does 'open' mean? For example are Creative Commons non-commercial licenses open?
  
• How should we promote the creation and distribution of open content?
  
• Who will be producing open content and how will it be funded?
  
• Will there be an 'open content' revolution (in analogy to the 'open source' revolution in software)?
