Wow, this is full on: https://www.investigate-europe.eu/en/2017/europes-dire-dependency-on-microsoft/ Gov'ts around Europe (and, I would hope, elsewhere in the world) are realising how dangerous and expensive their dependence on Microsoft is. It's a damning epidemic, and they need to take evasive action.

@maruff Digital content is non-rivalrous in the sense that the supply is not reduced through consumption. The marginal cost of making a copy is near zero, and the original is still accessible. Consequently the #lida103 question is why apply restrictive "all rights reserved" copyright to digital learning materials? One possible answer is corporate control to generate artificial scarcity from an abundant resource. .../3

#LiDA103 Within three days I joined OERu course, I am becoming better exposed, informed, and skilled. Now I know the real meaning and features of OERs and discover mastodon as a pedagogical tool. I can create personal blog and website, etc. I will explore the opportunity to create effective networking. I will introduce the course to colleagues. The experience has been superb!
