%T	Why are universities fighting Open Education? A tired argument over software patents is holding up common-sense reforms

%X	When you dig a bit deeper, it looks like universities’ opposition to open licensing has nothing to do with students’ access to educational resources. What’s really playing out is a longstanding fight over how universities use patents—more specifically, software patents. Open education just happens to be caught in the crossfire.
