I’ve encouraged folks to use the MBA Mondays content in whatever ways they want. It is all creative commons licensed and available to be used freely as long as there is proper attribution. This past week Jason Li emailed me about his illustrated version of MBA Mondays. I took a look and was very pleased to see a curated version of the work with fun illustrations on the table of contents and every post. He also included the best of the comments!
This is an example of why creative commons is such a powerful model. He didn’t have to ask my permission to do this. He added value to my work and created a new and possibly better version of it. His work is also creative commons so anyone can take what he did and add to that.
This is how knowledge should work in the digital age. It should be fluid and iterative. The text book is the old model, GitHub is the new model. So thanks Jason for doing exactly what I had hoped would happen with MBA Mondays.
