Heard this term floating around but didn't really bother about it till as of yesterday, whereby the eLearning Standards Seminar invited a speaker, Mr Warren Chik, to give a talk on that topic.
A few things learnt from that topic:
1. Protectionism. Copyright law is there by default, so the usage of phrases like "© entity name. All rights reserved. " is not necessary. But useful as declarative evidence. 'Copy Right' means only the owner has the right to copy.
2. Open source. Free for all to use.
3. Creative Commons - Free but with conditions.
#1 and #2 are the two extreme ends, while #3 is somewhat between those two.
