California Governor sets his sights on the future…

I will resist the urge to make any ‘killer robot’ allusions or asides. Sometimes a governor is just a governor.

The Ventura County Star reports California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announcing the adoption of the nation’s first Free Digital Textbook Initiative designed to save schoolboards (and his financially strapped state) millions of dollars per year. Read the story here. He did that Monday, paving the way for an evolution in education. I’m sure there will be copyright battles to come. Publishers will have to determine a licensing structure because of the potential for eBook copying and sharing. There will also be the rights for illustrations and photographic work to think about.

Very progressive for a Republican, yah?
