In the UK, OSS Watch is a body funded to provide
unbiased advice and guidance to UK higher and 
further education on the use, development,
and licensing of free and open source software. 

The OSS Watch personnel are located in Computing
Services at the University of Oxford.  OSS Watch
have a wiki at:
    http://wiki.oss-watch.ac.uk/

Unless otherwise indicated, each page of their wiki
is Copyright 2007-2009 University of Oxford and 
each page is licensed under the Creative Commons

Whenever you go to edit a page, you find at the 
top of the edit screen:
