Inkscape – Vector graphics editor (think Illustrator, CorelDraw)
ClaSS – student tracking, reporting and info. management system

14. Beta Software

Participants who download a beta version are entitled to keep it indefinitely even if a copyrighted version is released later (unless the distributor specifically lists otherwise).

15. Wiki Sites
Wiki – ‘wiki’ is Hawaiian for ‘fast’. A wiki is a website open for editing by all its members.
The listed organizers and creators are accountable for maintaining copyright law on their wiki sites and, if need be, removing material that violates copyright law.

16. Social Networking/Blogging
Even on private sites, publishing copyrighted material without permission is a copyright violation.
When posting original material, list “all rights reserved” at the end of the entry.
Parody or commentary are not subject to copyright, but ‘fan fiction’ is a violation unless the author releases permission.

17. Creative Commons
Creative Commons -- provides free tools that let authors, scientists, artists, and educators easily mark their creative work with the freedoms they want it to carry. Users can use CC to change copyright terms from "All Rights Reserved" to "Some Rights Reserved."
