DGREE talks
Where do the talks on the site come from?
Most of the dialogues on DGREE.org were filmed at the DGREE Summit 2010 or one of our local events. Over time, we will be adding dialogues from other excellent, independent events worldwide.
Are DGREE talks copyrighted?
Yes. DGREE talks and all content on DGREE.org is distributed under a Creative Commons (CC) license. This does not replace copyright— which remains undivided with LENS Ventures, LLC — but it makes the terms more flexible. Anyone is free to download the videos from DGREE.org; share them with friends; republish or embed them on their website or blog. But this use must be made within the terms of the CC license “Attribution – NonCommercial— NonDerivative.”
This Creative Commons license allows you to reproduce, distribute, display or perform publicly the DGREE talks as long as you follow these guidelines:
Attribution: You reference DGREE explicitly as the original source of the materials, and the DGREE logos and visuals, as well as those of the DGREE talk sponsors, remain untouched and unedited.
NonCommercial: You cannot use DGREE talks (or any parts of them) for commercial purposes.
NonDerivative: You cannot alter the videos in any way (edit, remix, cut, etc). These conditions can be modified only by explicit permission of the copyright holder (LENS Ventures, LLC). The complete text of the license can be seen on the Creative Commons (CC) license.
May I repost or republish DGREE talks on my site or blog?
Yes, we encourage you to share DGREE talks widely — as long as you comply with the terms of the Creative Commons license outlined above (see “Are DGREE talks copyrighted?”). And you must add a visible link back to DGREE.org.
May I project DGREE talks to a group of people?
Yes, as long as you comply with the terms of the Creative Commons license outlined above (see “Are DGREE talks copyrighted?”). In fact, we encourage you to find creative ways to share DGREE talks with your students, teachers, colleagues, friends, and communities.
May I show DGREE talks during my conference?
Yes, as long as you comply with the terms of the Creative Commons license outlined above (see “Are DGREE talks copyrighted?”). In particular, the talks must be shown unedited, including the DGREE visuals, those of the partner conferences, and those of the DGREE talk sponsor, as well as the copyright information, and only within the scope of a non-commercial event. If you wish to use DGREE talks in a commercial context, please contact us with a motivated request for permission.
May I use DGREE talks in my classroom?
Yes, as long as you comply with the terms of the Creative Commons license outlined above (see “Are DGREE talks copyrighted?”). We know of a number of teachers that use DGREE talks to stimulate discussions with their students or to complement course materials, and encourage you to do so as well.
May I re-edit and remix DGREE talks?
No. The Creative Commons license (see “Are DGREE talks copyrighted?”) clearly states, “derivative works” of any kind (edits, cuts, re-mixes, mashups, etc) are not allowed. If you discover edited or modified versions of DGREE talks distributed online or used elsewhere, be aware that this is illegal and please inform us.
I’d like to see talks from my event or organization on DGREE.org. Who do I contact?
If you are a conference organizer and would like to see your talks on DGREE.org, we would like to hear from you. Be aware that a series of basic rules apply to DGREE talks: no corporate presentations, product pitches, or self-promoting speeches. Interesting/original content, passionate/compelling storytelling, and good production quality (audio/video/slides) area key prerequisite and welcomed.
You must hold the copyright on the talk and be ready to share it with LENS Ventures, LLC on a non-exclusive basis. All DGREE talks are distributed under the same Creative Commons license (see “Are DGREE talks copyrighted?”).
Please send us information about the speaker, the talk, the event/location where it was filmed, and a short written summary of the speech.
Ultimately, the choice of the talks and speakers that belong on DGREE.org is decided by the DGREE team exclusively, based on criteria of interest, originality, quality, insightfulness, affinity with other DGREE talks, and capacity to further the mission of DGREE.
I’d like to post my own talk on DGREE.org.
Although this isn’t currently possible, we are investigating the option going forward. We do welcome your thoughts and feedback on our existing talks via our DGREE forum.
