Mentioned my Una Daly via a 10-19-17 CCCOER email:

“California Ed Code has been updated to include the following definition of OER:

… high-quality teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released pursuant to an intellectual property license that permits their free use and repurposing by others, and may include other resources that are legally available and free of cost to students.”
