Het feit dat veel leerkrachten reeds MSN gebruiken heeft misschien een
onverwacht argumentatief voordeel.

Lees gewoon eens de Terms of Use. Daarin staat dat op alles wat je
schrijft en upload naar MSN inclusief alle attachments,cursussen, klein
en groot, automatisch aan Microsoft een licentie verleent wordt die hen
quasi alles toestaat inclusief commercieel gebruik buiten MSN.

Dus als leerkrachten al de gewoonte hebben om een buitenlands bedrijf
dergelijke rechten te geven, waarom dan niet aan hun eigen collega's met
een vrije licentie??



"Microsoft does not claim ownership of the materials you provide to
Microsoft (including feedback and suggestions) or post, upload, input or
submit to any MSN Site/Service or its associated services for review by
the general public, or by the members of any public or private group,
(each a "Submission" and collectively "Submissions"). 

However, by posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting
("Posting") your Submission you are granting Microsoft, its affiliated
companies and necessary sublicensees permission to use your Submission
in connection with the operation of their Internet businesses
(including, WITHOUT LIMITATION, all MSN Sites/Services), including,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, the license rights to: copy, distribute, transmit,
publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, translate and
reformat your Submission; to publish your name in connection with your
Submission; and the right to sublicense such rights to any supplier of a
MSN Site/Service....

Vergelijk dit met een vergelijkbare service zoals Yahoo Groups

8. CONTENT SUBMITTED OR MADE AVAILABLE FOR INCLUSION ON THE SERVICE


Yahoo! does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available
for inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you
submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of
the Service, you grant Yahoo! the following world-wide, royalty free and
non-exclusive license(s), as applicable:


      * With respect to Content you submit or make available for
        inclusion on publicly accessible areas of Yahoo! Groups, the
        license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly
        perform and publicly display such Content on the Service 

      SOLELY for the purposes of providing and promoting the specific
Yahoo!  Group to which such Content was submitted or made available.
        This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to
        include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the
        time you remove or Yahoo! removes such Content from the Service.
        
        

"Publicly accessible" areas of the Service are those areas of the Yahoo!
network of properties that are intended by Yahoo! to be available to the
general public. By way of example, publicly accessible areas of the
Service would include Yahoo! Message Boards and portions of Yahoo!
Groups, Photos and Briefcase that are open to both members and visitors.
However, publicly accessible areas of the Service would not include
portions of Yahoo! Groups that are limited to members, Yahoo! services
intended for private communication such as Yahoo! Mail or Yahoo!
Messenger, or areas off of the Yahoo! network of properties such as
portions of World Wide Web sites that are accessible through via
hypertext or other links but are not hosted or served by Yahoo!.


Op het eerste zicht lijken deze licenties hetzelfde, maar er zitten 
toch enkel grote verschillen op. 
(without limitation >< solely)
