quite seriously i think they broke rule #1 of OER...always distribute clear and direct information on where to find the raw source...dist of a PDF with no ref where to find reusable original does not impress me that they understand the situation...
In fact, this isn't in their suggestions either; at p. 21 they say «Allow the creation of variations and enhancements through open licences» as if licenses were enough; and the weird "open definition" they use for unknown reasons http://opendefinition.org/okd/ doesn't mention source. I could add that they say «Use open formats wherever possible to make it easier for alternative access systems and devices to display and control the resource» but UNESCO page[1] says "Download Acrobat reader". :-/
That said, my question was more a pragmatic one, like: how can I exploit such (partly) good things UNESCO states to get the management/staff of my university use and produce more free/open tools and materials?
