FW: Question: Microsoft Template and Copyright

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, Sharing this very informative discussion from the CCCOER listserv. I think I’ll be reviewing my slide sets over break with an eye to this new information. <Apologies for the duplication for those on multiple listservs.> Cheers, Jessica [cid:image001.png@01D7F727.D40F32B0] Jessica Norman, MLS OER Librarian Construction, Manufacturing & Automation Liaison Book an appointment<https://sait.libcal.com/appointment/16446> From: cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com <cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Cable Green Sent: December 20, 2021 3:11 PM To: CCCOER Advisory <cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com> Cc: Veronica Vold <voldv(a)linnbenton.edu>; Amy Hofer <hofera(a)linnbenton.edu>; heather.morgan(a)sfcc.spokane.edu Subject: Re: Question: Microsoft Template and Copyright Greetings Friends: I reached out to our Creative Commons (CC) lawyers to get their opinion on this important question. Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. (1) Their comments on your questions: ----------------- I would say that any art elements that are under a Microsoft license that does not allow relicensing under a CC license should be clearly marked; that the clip art can be incorporated with a presentation that is otherwise CC-licensed but those elements would need to be marked separately. By templates I'm thinking you mean layouts that include some sort of stock designs, and not just layout placement? I'd consider that the same as clip art to the extent they include copyrightable art and designs; some that are just simple placement guides and do not really include art I think would be harder to say are copyrightable at all. ----------------- (2) CC will reach out to Microsoft in early 2022 to ask this question, and to check in on their work and plans related to open licensing. (3) As a practical matter - if you use MS powerpoint to create slides, and you want to be extra safe - you might want to include some of this info in your attribution statements - either at the beginning or the end of the powerpoint slide deck. For example: Unless otherwise noted, [Title - or "this presentation"] by: [Author] is licensed under CC BY 4.0<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/> [or other license]. Templates and clipart are by Microsoft: all rights reserved copyright. Or something similar.

I agree that this is a really good question. Here's what I'm curious about: * In 2007, Microsoft partnered with Creative Commons to create an add-in that allows Windows users to embed Creative Commons licenses directly into Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13303>. What's the status of Microsoft's relationship with Creative Commons right now? It sounds like this add-in was a positive collaboration<https://creativecommons.org/2006/06/21/microsoftandcreativecommonsreleaseto…>; is there any further collaboration planned? * Given that Microsoft encourages users to search for and use openly licensed images when authoring slides, I'm curious why Microsoft-owned v. copyright-free content isn't more clearly labeled in the authoring software interface itself. Searching through the different license terms, I don't see guidance on use of pre-built slide templates, which is worrying for users hoping to share open and accessible slide decks. * Jin, your suggestion to port to a royalty-free template is a great idea! I'm also concerned about the additional time/labor required for clean up and for ensuring that accessibility features like alt text carry over. It would be awesome if Microsoft was more transparent about its options for openly licensing content; lack of transparency is definitely a barrier for users, especially for those who are new to open education. Is there an existing query about this on Microsoft support that we could comment on and follow? Thanks all!

For example, Microsoft explicitly states “When you share Your Content with other people, you understand that they may be able to, on a worldwide basis, use, save, record, reproduce, broadcast, transmit, share and display Your Content for the purpose that you made Your Content available on the Services without compensating you.” However, this does not apply to copyrighted materials owned by Microsoft or third party vendors and Microsoft explicitly states that Microsoft products are for “your personal, noncommercial use” unless otherwise specified by your license whether it be commercial or educational. I would highly encourage the person to visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/useterms/ to see if they can find the specific license that applies to them OR just port their work to a royalty free template or their own design since I think there might be risks involved with repackaging a Microsoft or potentially third party owned template and releasing it under an open license.

#OTESSA22 Submission Deadline Extended to January 15, 2022

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, The submission deadline for OTESSA 2022 has been extended<https://otessa.org/news/otessa22-final-deadline-extended-to-january-15/> until January 15, 2022. The Open/Technology, Education, Scholarship and Society Association (OTESSA<https://conference.otessa.org/index.php/conference>) online conference will be held between May 16 and 19, 2022. The overarching theme is critical change, and the subthemes are the transitions of online learning and teaching; addressing the new iniquities; and sustaining positive change. There is also a wildcard subcategory for "innovative and inventive ideas around research or practice" that don't fit any of the subthemes. As said in their call for proposals<https://otessa.org/2022/>: "OTESSA welcomes thinkers, tinkerers and designers from across disciplines and contexts who are exploring the role of open and digital technologies in education, society, and scholarship to be part of this conference gathering." Review the OTESSA submission guidelines<https://conference.otessa.org/index.php/conference/about/submissions> and the OTESSA call for proposals<https://otessa.org/2022/> online before submitting.
