Who will follow Brazil's lead?

• The bill deals with three main issues: 
• It requires government funded educational resources to be made widely available to the public under an open license, 
• clarifies that resources produced by public servants under his/her official capacities should be open educational resources (or otherwise released under an open access framework), and 
• urges the government to support open federated systems for the distribution and archiving of OER.
