In case someone’s looking for a content/curriculum project…
December 30, 2009 – 1:19 amInvent Your Own Computer Games With Python looks like a great base for remixing into a “how to make your own Activities” guide for students – it’s written so 9-10 year olds can understand it. And it is indeed remixable; the license is BY-NC-SA.

Can “NC” licensed stuff be included in XO bundles? Any chance of it being released under a Free license? (http://freedomdefined.org/Definition)

Mel,
As you may have heard, I am working on a “Make Your Own Sugar Activities!” book on Floss Manuals. I want this to be suitable for 9-10 years old and up too. I’ve been knocking out a new chapter every few days.
I’d appreciate your opinion on it. Thanks.

Joe: Anything can be put into an .xo bundle regardless of license (it’s a glorified renamed .zip file), but in order to be distributed by Sugar Labs (via http://activities.sugarlabs.org) it needs to fit our Licensing guidelines which – you are correct – do not allow the NC clause. The best bet for relicensing is to contact the content author directly.
James: It looks great to me so far – but I’m not the one who should be testing it. ;) Do you have a group of young testers in that age group going through the lessons as you write them? That was the best thing I did when I was writing a textbook on electrical engineering – have testers go through it live.
