Mellon Foundation, and MIT		Mr. Sinister's Dedication Page "I am pleased to see a fine institution, MIT, contribute some of their resources to the impoverished general public. I hope they will continue their efforts and expand on the idea. I would also like to see other universities assist MIT in this endeavor. I created this dedication page, in an attempt to; create more attention to the OCW site, create cyber spacial commuities of self-learners, and prohibit people from taking advantage of a good idea for their own advantage. Just like a P2P network, OCW is only efficient if we pass information on, instead of hording it for ourselves." - Mr. Sinister
