Open Model Redefines the Textbook In contrast to traditional publishing's "all rights reserved" copyright license, Flat World publishes under a Creative Commons open license, which eliminates many of the restrictions for how a textbook can be used and distributed. Students can read open textbooks online for free for as long as they like. Professors can reorder and edit content, and add new material and interactive media. Armed with an open license and Flat World's sophisticated online editing platform, faculty are free to create the "perfect book" for their course.
