7935 "users didn’t like these hard-count options. They preferred to try out many "

9213 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9214 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9215 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "

9229 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9230 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9231 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9232 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9233 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9234 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "

11602 "In the early 2000s, Hessel van Oorschot was an entrepreneur running a "

11613 "In 2005, Hessel and Sandra Brandenburg launched a niche video-production "
11614 "initiative. Almost immediately, they ran into issues around finding and "
11615 "licensing music tracks. All they could find was standard, cold stock-music. "
11616 "They thought of looking up websites where you could license music directly "
11617 "from the musician without going through record labels or agents. But in "
11618 "2005, the ability to directly license music from a rights holder was not "
11619 "readily available."
