In oth We recognize that this may make you angry, and we can relate: as teachers we put a lot of effort into the material we create. However, we have come to see that this is _not_ a horrible situation; in fact, it is a good one. As the creator of the material you still retain moral rights to be named as the author, and there are other benefits as well. For example, the ability of other teachers that may take your place after you are gone to legally use and build upon your work in the future. +```{tip} +One reason copyright lies with TU Delft is because educational material must remain available for students when the author leaves. Additional justification can be found in the Open Educational Resources (OER) Policy Document, [here](https://repository.tudelft.nl/record/uuid:68a07efc-fc4d-4a57-8e93-88a3af37465a). + +The use of open licenses actually does not prohibit the author from using the material in the future, even if not employed at TU Delft. For example, if you publish a TeachBook at TU OPEN, with a CC BY license, you are always entitled to "take" the book with you when leaving by simply changing the cover. +``` + **Still don't agree?** Sorry. Please take this up with your nearest library or copyright expert and let us know if you get a different response! In the meantime, we will simply list ourselves as authors, use CC BY licenses and remember that TU Delft holds the copyright for our work produced as teachers. ```{warning}
