Not all are evil. My own institution has one of the best-- they they went totally to the darkside on the IP created by Extension faculty. Go figure?<br /><br />I think for the most part you are right... not sure how faculty would be allowed to participate in this project. Then by the same token, how is it that faculty can publish in PLoS? And you can be assured that all of our faculty have published there. They can&#39;t be receiving permission. I&#39;m thinking we have a don&#39;t tell don&#39;t ask policy at many of our institutions. They have no idea how to handle this, so they handle it by looking the other way. No way to run an institution.<br /><br />KevinKevin Gamblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00659162207319457717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323202250325013491.post-63635557337939947332009-10-08T09:29:12.875-05:002009-10-08T09:29:12.875-05:00Exciting! But do the participating scholars violate the IP policies of their academic employers? <br /><br />OK, so no one publishes or cuts and pastes from &quot;academic articles&quot; (whatever that means), but what if some of the ideas generated and collaboratively refined on the wiki add up to some startling new discovery? Something university IP departments might see as $$aluble.Peghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14161350241459517207noreply@blogger.com
