Okay, last question: re: copyright concerns on actual slide content: say the lecture video contains some close-ups of slides and some shots of just the professor's head. say that some of the images in the presentation are used without permission and don't have an open license that allows the speaker's use. say that we want to publish the lecture video but not the slides. say that we do so, under cc-by, along with a brief fair use claim like: "any other slide content copyright its respective creators, used under fair use for noncommercial, educational purposes"
I know I probably won't get real legal advice back, but a recommendation, or better yet a statement like "this is what uMich does" (if applicable) would rock. thanks!

It doesn't specifically say anywhere on there something like "I >> give umich permission to publish the material with the cc-by license."
