The Five Principles of Ethical Commoning
1. Respecting Sources and Identifying Them
Authors often depend on being visible as contributors. Help them so that they might continue their engagement as commoners.
2. Adopting, Not Stealing
Don’t take other content over in a thoughtless way. Otherwise, you might not thoroughly explore the original work and its quality.
3. Giving Back
Give something back to the community and to authors by publishing, using and sharing other good materials or foregrounding good authors.
4. Appreciating Quality
Appreciate what others give you for free. The value of OER is not measured by money or authorities. Try to find the specific quality of each work.
5. Respect Rights
Original ideas and models can be used, but these need to be cited with appropriate information about the sources. Copyrighted material cannot be mutualized without permission.
