"Why don't we, instead of trying to sell our knowledge over the internet, just give it away."

Imagine that? MIT wants people to have access to their coursework even if they don't get any money for it. I think this is a very positive and noble gesture; a round of applause for MIT!

MIT is a non-profit corporation that solicits (there's the letter from them on my kitchen table) money from people like me to ostensibly to serve the greater good - not to aggrandize MIT, its faculty, or administration. The fact that MIT gets it and so many other universities do not is disturbing. Guess I should write a bigger check this year!
