Whatever the exact practices, the goal is to keep the group cohesive and focused on achieving steady progress.
== Courseware and content licensing ==
As a nonprofit public benefit project Mozilla is committed to releasing its various products under permissive licenses allowing redistribution and reuse. Traditionally Mozilla has released source code under the Mozilla [http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/boilerplate-1.1/mpl-tri-license-c MPL/GPL/LGPL trilicense] and non-code content (e.g., in the [http://developer.mozilla.org/ Mozilla Developer Center]) under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike license]. These licenses will likely be the default licenses for Mozilla-related material such as courseware and other content released through education.mozilla.org and other channels.
However we also wish to encourage maximum re-use of Mozilla education materials, and we recognize that the wide variety of [http://learn.creativecommons.org/cclearn-reports licenses used for open educational resources] can sometimes cause license incompatibilities that limit the potential for re-mixing content in different contexts. We are therefore willing to consider other possibilities for licensing material where appropriate, e.g., using the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ Creative Commons Attribution license] (CC-BY) rather than CC-BY-SA.
