Major private funders did the same, like Gates and Ford (in addition to us), starting a trend that should bring open licensing to whole new fields of study.

2015 was the year we began to see open educational resources (OER) move from eccentric curiosity to mainstream adoption.

UNESCO is taking a leading role in "making countries aware of the potential of OER."[30]

William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,[16] which was the main financial supporter of open educational resources in the early years and has spent more than $110 million in the 2002 to 2010 period, of which more than $14 million went to MIT.[2] The Shuttleworth Foundation, which focuses on projects concerning collaborative content creation, has contributed as well. With the British government contributing £5.7m,[27] institutional support has also been provided by the UK funding bodies JISC[28] and HEFCE.[29]

Creative Commons, an organisation that provides ready-made licensing agreements that are less restrictive than the "all rights reserved" terms of standard international copyright, is a "critical infrastructure service for the OER movement."[26]
