From: Rick Anderson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 05:51:40 +0000 Does anyone have a link to the actual policy document itself? I can¹t seem to find it on the Ford Foundation website, and neither the Ford Foundation press release nor the Creative Commons press release (https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/44865) provides as link to the actual policy as far as I can tell. According to the Foundation¹s press release the policy allows for exceptions to this rule in "certain situations, such as when the expected product contains sensitive or confidential material," and it would be interesting to know how those situations are defined and evaluated. --- Rick Anderson Assoc.
