At the UnSchool, we ask all our commissioned project clients to allow 20% open source content that we can release to the community. We also use project fees to develop our own initiatives that we can offer for free or low cost. Sustainability knowledge should be accessible to everyone, and we try to open up as much as possible to the global community.
