"Open Knowledge Project" only works for content creators or relatively new 
projects that can still restrict their intake of content like Commons has.  We 
don't want dilute "Open Knowledge" and the issue is existing GLAM organizations 
that want to affiliate with the movement.  Some is needed more along the lines 
of "Dedicated to Emancipating Culture - we are committed the licensing all 
internally owned copyrights under [favorite free license] and to forthrightly 
advertising the most accurate copyright information we can on all the content we 
curate."
