# 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/`
|
|
- a `sources.yaml` source inventory beside that file
|
|
- attribution and rights notes in the generated pack
|
|
- a generated `pack_compliance_manifest.json` 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
|
|
- keep those records in a per-course `sources.yaml` inventory
|
|
- separate core MIT OCW material from excluded third-party items if they appear
|
|
- keep generated pack content clearly marked as adapted/derived
|
|
- include attribution and compliance artifacts with the emitted pack
|
|
|
|
