MIT OpenCourseWare Notes

MIT OpenCourseWare material is a good fit for Didactopus demos, but it needs explicit attribution and license handling.

Current handling in this repository

The MIT OCW Information and Entropy demo stores:

  • a local derived source file in examples/ocw-information-entropy/
  • attribution and rights notes in the generated pack
  • generated learner outputs in examples/ocw-information-entropy-run/
  • a repo-local skill bundle in skills/ocw-information-entropy-agent/

License handling stance

MIT OpenCourseWare course content is generally distributed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, with the important caveat that linked or third-party materials may not always be covered.

That means Didactopus should:

  • preserve MIT OCW attribution
  • keep a rights note in generated artifacts
  • treat redistributable derived packs as reviewable outputs rather than unquestioned mirrors
  • preserve noncommercial and share-alike implications when applicable

Practical guidance

When building from MIT OCW sources:

  • record the course page and any unit/resource pages used
  • separate core MIT OCW material from excluded third-party items if they appear
  • keep generated pack content clearly marked as adapted/derived
  • include attribution artifacts with the emitted pack
