This course looks like a good basis to adapt for my little robot [Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) — XRP 2023.0 documentation](https://introtoroboticsv2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

However the licensing is unclear. Is it in fact a proprietary course? I asked in February here [License? · Issue #148 · Open-STEM/IntroToRoboticsV2 · GitHub](https://github.com/Open-STEM/IntroToRoboticsV2/issues/148) but maybe that was the wrong place.

Is it CC-BY? Something else?

Thanks

Sam

The course not proprietary it is open and public. There is currently no license attached to it, but we are heading towards CC for clarity.

Thanks, it would be great if that CC license could be added. I’d like to do a derivative, but don’t have permission to do that until it’s openly licensed. [No license](https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/) implies no permission AFAIK

Have you had any more discussion about adding a CC license to the course materials?

Thank you for the reminder. Everyone seems to be OK with putting the curriculum under CC. It is just a matter of getting the correct wording put in.

Great stuff, thanks. I’ll start adapting
