Hi there, I am really excited to find this community about teaching with Jupyter NB!
So, I have a question reagarding the adoption of NB as a side tool for the Learning Platform I work on.
This platform is proprietary, it belongs to a company that hires our institute to develop it, and so far it was
only made available for free courses enrollment (we never sold courses and there is no implementation
for payment/order). The company really offers it for pree public access and plan to use it internally to train
their own employees in near future.
We are looking for a more dynamic tool to help us teach Pyhton and Data Science skills along with our web
lessons, video lessons, forums and quizzes, so Jupyter NB are the best solution. Point is that we also need
to change it to accomodate accessibility features (e.g.: sign language videos, font resizing, high contrast, etc).
Dou you belive it is allowed to adapt a NB server with these accessibility funtionalities and use it on our platform?
Which licenses constraints should we provide to make it work in legal terms?
Thank you in advance.

This list of resources may be helpful for integrating Jupyter with your LMS (?) platform:
The edX XBlock gradebook and IFrame (for security) integrations in particular may be close to what you are looking for?

Thanks Wes for your clarification on the BSD license. I think we can move forward on implementing
what we need and include the disclaimer as the legal obligation for this license. Regarding the LMS
integrations, we alredy have a layer over the LMS we adopted, so I believe the integration will happen
on that layer which can dispatch further integrations with the LMS bellow it. But I will take a look into
this resoruces list you provided.
Thank you very much.

YW. https://choosealicense.com/appendix/ has a table comparing what can be done with code licensed with various open source licenses; including the 3-Clause "New BSD" license.
From "Teaching remotely with Jupyter: tips, resources, and best-practices"
> There are also ways to integrate Jupyter notebooks with various LMS / LRS systems (like Canvas, Blackboard, etc) “nbgrader and LMS / LRS; LTI, xAPI” on the “Teaching with Jupyter Notebooks” mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jupyter-education/_UP-VjBYXJE 3
> Implements LTI v1 authenticator for use with JupyterHub.
>
> This converts JupyterHub into a LTI Tool Provider, which can be then easily used with various Tool Consumers, such as Canvas, EdX, Moodle, Blackboard, etc.

> So far, ltiauthenticator has been tested with EdX and Canvas. Documentation contributions are highly welcome!
