3) Release of author's rights

The Paulo Freire Institute (PFI), coherent with Freirian concepts, believes that sharing knowledge is one of the fundamental paths to social inclusion and the struggle for a better world in the field of knowledge-production, both inside and outside of the university.

From this perspective, the Institute encourages participants at the Sixth International Meeting of the Paulo Freire Forum to share the knowledge they produce through the model of a Creative Commons—a global project without lucrative ends, present in more than 40 countries, which makes flexible licensing for intellectual work available, creating a new for the administration of author's rights.

The project guarantees that creators of content – educators, writers, translators, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, bloggers, journalists and others – allow some use of their work for societal use. Thus, if an author wants his work to be freely circulated, he should choose a license that allows any person to clearly know that (s)he has the right to use the work.

Among the various licenses of the Creative Commons, the PFI opted for the “Attribution—Non-Commercial Use –Creation of Derivative Work Forbidden 2.5 (by-nc-nd)” which authorizes any person or institution to make use of all the texts, providing that:

a) They acknowledge the author.
b) They make no commercial use of it.
c) They don't create derivative work.
