Though there are a few definitions of OER floating around, the most widely accepted one defines an Open Educational Resource as something that can be retained, reused, revised, remixed, and redistributed. Not all open licenses automatically mean a resource is OER, however. If the license chosen restricts derivative works, for instance, that means a person could not revise or remix a work to better fit their needs and it is not truly an OER.
